Yippee!
An unknown man* arrived from my puter builderers at 10:30 and took a look at what was onscreen with the busticated graphics card, then popped the case open and replaced the "card." Card is in quotation marks because it is HUGE and weighs POUNDS.
He then took time from his busy schedule to make my desktop look weird and set Windows to Puppy Mode, before I clunked him on the head and made him change it back. Well, we can't all have good taste :D
Puppy Mode = what I call that horrid XP default mode look - puke-tastic
As soon as he left I got an IM saying GET IN TEH PHIL SIM ASAP, so I leapt into Second Life on the antique viewer. After the concert I went to see Enj and met Zag, then Ed came in and we wend to Isle of Wyrms on lag-assessment duty. As it turns out they had no clue what I was talking about so that show is off (phew!).

Update 1 : I got it.
The spider was lurking over the doorway into the kitchen.
Update 2: They are coming out to swap out the video card tomorrow morning. I had really restrained myself from bothering them as they hate that, however (oddly enough) I emailed them an hour ago and now it's in.

At about 1am beat on the stupid wireless* router as it had developed Alzheimer's disease. I think now it is working all right.
* No, I am not wireless.

Derek is totally sweet and patient - I had an issue with the audio thingummybob and he solved it over the phone. AND said, "We make a great team," which was far beyond the call of quality control duty.

My blogs have just moved to the Blogger Beta - I was a bit worried as I had 28 emails saying "Congratulations! Your move to the new Blogger is complete." which looked odd, but no, my blog hasn't disappeared (I have read the horror stories). It's meant to ftp more reliably which will be a great relief as old Blogger was temperamental and really annoying at times.
