Flashlight Enthusiast
Humor me, there IS a flashlight connection here <grin>.
First the enthuasium/bragging
Made the leap up to an Athlon 64 X2 (dual core) machine over the weekend. Running Windows XP Professional x64 (the 64 bit version) and except for a couple of missing drivers (one of my printers and a video capture card) all is good. HOLY MOSES does photoshop like running in that environment!
So anyway I'm finishing the assembly and giving it that last lookover before I power it up the first time and I decided to go grab my HDS EDC 60 basic so I could see into all the nooks. 10 lumens is PLENTY that close!
Fortunately with the aid of a good flashlight I noticed one loose screw that had become trapped near the edge of the motherboard. If I had powered up with it there....ZAP for my motherboard (and who knows what else). So I'm really glad I spotted it!
Yea for good flashlights (and Yea for 64 bit processing)!!! :naughty:
