It seems that although Aliens didn't come down and zap my CPU with a malfunction-gun after all!

...

They zapped my modem! That's why my computer did crazy things! That's why the PC locked when I tried to connect to the Net! That's why I smelt smoke! All the time I was trying to figure stuff out, my modem was doing it's wee happy-dancing-dance-of-flaming-death dance in it's PCI slot. (Yeah, it's a PCI modem, I'm almost happy to see it go!)

There's nothing wrong with my new CPU and Motherboard at all! Yay! And with any luck, my modem will still be under warranty, so I can cash it in for another one. Any thoughts on USB modems? Good? Bad? Mediocre?

:)
