Well, www.BrianDesmond.com is going to be down until at least Monday. The machine I use to serve it up decided not to power up after a reboot this morning. It took a little while with Dell to reach an agreement that machine would in fact not power up, rather than the monitor being bad because it wasn't getting a signal. The guy at the other end says that I need a mainboard and/or processor, so, they're shipping me both, and I'll have it Monday or Tuesday.

Until then, no www.briandesmond.com.

Let me guess Dell asked if you had the power cord plugged in?

We had a laptop that they sent the wrong power supply for - took almost 30 minutes to get the guy to realize the problem was square peg doesn't fit in round hole!

There were some interesting troubleshooting procedures involved. The one that baffled me the most was unplugging the tower from the wall, and then holding down the power button for ten seconds.
