Keep getting pinged tonite with a Newtear attack from somewhere in the Pacrim... ??? Couldn't trace it the last time.

CPU has been acting like it's getting hit with denial of service... but I'm not sure why -- I opened up the BIOS communication to let my new version of Compuserve try to optimize its install -- but I just turned that back off and I'm still getting pinged...

OW!

SHEESH REB.

There's a joke in there, I know there is...
