Would love to see them pop. Still have enough on to make an already sexy trade into something exquisite. Good bit of room to run.

Lessons learned

A word on water damage: when I was a freshmen in high school I worked 16 hours per weekend for 9 months to buy a gorgeous Fender tube amp...
Heartbreaker on amps!

Bitch when tubes are involved, too. High feckin voltage. One shot to make sure its fixed, or...

Rock and Roll will never be the same again!

That works well for drying nuisance dogs, too, before you put their bows back on and paint their toenails. A lot of them are afraid of the sound of hair dryers (as well as afraid of everything else in the world), so a microwave is a good option, IMO.

Yeah, the motherboard is toast. New machine on the way. I'll try the warranty shuffle, but ultimately, probably either buy a new m-board, or keep it as a parts car.

The death of this machine may or may not say anything about the breed.

I've had Thinkpads for probably 15 years. What I'm typing on right now is a 2000-vintage machine that has been in dust, rain, smoke, tobacco ash, has enough miles on it to have it's own frequent flier card, and except for the pain worn off the a,e, i, c, and a few other keys, works as good as new, with a video better than the new ones.

IBM sells it to the Asians, and you get one a little damp, and kaboom.

Best place for those little yappers!

Pity on the machine, Q! At least your data should be A-OK.

My thinkpad was one of my favorite machines...

I tracked that bitch to hell and back only to loan it to my son for 2 days, and it was fucked beyond repair.

I agree with you on the vid thang. The soft screen on that VS my current "True Bright" screens really was the shit. I loved trading outside on a sunny day...pull my HP outside and try the same, well, let's just say the mirrored reflection on it gives me a better chance at popping zits then reading charts...

Sigh...

Toast to the fallen OQ...I am with ya brother.

I''m thinking about a new metric: the ratio of the E/U to the 30-yr bond index. The units work out: Euros/(USD * percent number), is Euros to buy $1 worth of long bond, and the inverse correlation works out to that it would be constant in a static world.

I don't know what it's going to look like, but I should know Monday or Tuesday. I doubt it would be 'tradable', but it may have signal value; bonds are more anticipatory often than is the E/U.

Yeah, hardware is just the loss of money and some hours. Data is like death in the family. In the past, there have been cases where I would have traded any number of family members to get it back.

Man, you are the biggest bull on this thread right now by a long shot! I never wish anyone ill, unless it is against my self interest, so I say your call sucks.

Definitely a place for redundancy!

Horribly traumatic experience...and each time is worse than the last; never gets any easier.

I don't even like talking about it because I get nervous.
