i'm baaack!
so when i woke up this am, i decided to bite the bullet and get a laptop. on the way to the dog park (to tire jones out before we went off to do errands), milwaukee pc called to say my broken tower was ready, but only restored to the state that it was in before i tried flashing the bios. this means i'll have to reinstall windows in order to get it to function again. not wanting to deal with that this morning, i decided to still go with the laptop option. so here's my new toy.
