Remmber that computer that I received back in August? What a great machine...
..until NOW.
I was in SecondLife when.. all of a sudden.. my keyboard and mouse stop working. Totally.
I've tried other keyboards/mice.
Nothing.
When I reboot, i get to the welcome screen, but I can't pick an ID... because the machine doesn't recognize the keyboard or mouse.. so I can't choose anything.
I can't press F8 during boot, either, to get into Safe Mode.
NOT HAPPY...
Those little Mars Rovers - the Energizer Bunnies of outer space - are still going and going and going. And now... in what is SOOOOoooo cool, the brand new Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (it just got there in March), just started shooting pictures recently (like, a week or two ago). It flew over Victoria Crater and took a picture of the Opportunity Rover perched on the crater.. it's so good, you can see the shadow of the Camera Mast.. so damn cool...
