Furthermore, it actually booted up my previous installation of Windows! I had to activate it again because so much hardware had changed, but I seem to be up and running. I still have a 640GB drive waiting to be used, and I will be putting 64-bit Vista on it and gradually setting that up as my new system.

I should hopefully be able to start looking at my stack of submitted bugs tomorrow.

D'oh! Memory is on its way now.

Looks like my parts were shipped...yesterday, according to the mail!

Since it's a Portable App, you can just copy it onto a Flash Drive and use it anywhere...even machines you don't have admin rights to. *cough* work *cough*

No mucking around with the registry, either.  Always a good thing.

I suspect the processor, but it may be the motherboard. On the positive side, this gives me a good opportunity to upgrade some core components that were getting a bit dated. On the bad side, I'll have to completely reinstall everything and hope the hard crash didn't trash what I was working on at the time (implementing skills and powerups into Muties).

The replacement parts are on order. With the holidays, etc., it may be a few days before I can get back to work on things here. But now you won't have to panic at my mysterious silence.
