For a long time (since last spring) it would sometimes fail to boot (POST), instead throwing a C1 memory error and beeping. I RMA’d all the memory, but it kept happening. Now it’s not even booting with 4 sticks of memory installed. I set up an advance-exchange RMA tonight with eVGA; thankfully I’ll have time over break to get everything back and working again. Very happy I sprung the extra $30 or so for the lifetime warranty board. If I hadn’t've, I would be springing $200+ for a new board of comparable features.

I introduced Mom, Dad, and Nate to Wii Sports today. As luck would have it, they all had a blast. Dad especially enjoyed punching people in the face in Boxing ;) Mom suggested I leave the Wii here “to keep it safe”. I think that means “so I can get better at Bowling and beat you”, but I’m not judging.

Time on my hands to fix computers and play Wii… it’s good to be home.
