I'm pretty sure it's the power supply that's gone bad. That would explain the previous loss of power to the hard drive. The computer turned on for like 30 seconds and then it was just...off. And then there was a burning electrical smell. Yeah, it was real nice.
The thing that sucks is that I had been working on an "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" edit while TJDavis was on vacation, and it turned out GREAT! I just had a few finishing touches to put on it before my computer took a dive. I'll release it to the community once I get everything up and running again.
In other news, TJ and I actually met for the first time in person while he was vacationing in Florida. After working on this thing together and talking online and on the phone for almost three years now, it was really cool to finally meet. We went to see Indy 4, and had a laugh over all the CGI gophers and monkeys. LOL!
We also recommitted to really hitting this edit hard when he gets back to finally finish this thing so we can be "free of the carbonite" so to speak. :-)
