i killed starscream

I was hiking back down from Breakneck Ridge today, and I suddenly had this strong urge to resurrect Starscream. So I when I got home and had some lunch, I went up to Best Buy to get a floppy disk drive. They didn't have one, so I tried Circuit City. The guy there found the spot where they were kept for me, stood right in front of them and said "Sorry we don't have any." So I picked up one of the floppy drives they didn't have and paid for it as I left. Got back home and installed the thing in StarScream. Turns out HA HA... I was able to get the thing to boot without the floppy drive. Took the ethernet card out of Reliant, which for some reason had inherrited it from StarScream and put it back. Pluged Reliant back into the network, and got everything working again (Reliant still had two other ethernet cards and is by gateway). I'm super happy, because Starscream is back working again. Press the power button on the front and NOTHING. I killed StarScream... I dunno how, but somehow just as I was finally getting StarScream back into the fold it dies. I think the motherboard shorted... which is a tragedy, because they don't make alphas anymore and getting a replacement is going to be tricky.
