The Tale of Bent Pins

A few days ago I received my replacement CPU via USPS Priority mail, again this time in record braking speed. I love the US Postal Service, it wouldn't surprise me if their motto was "More work, less BS," whereas UPS settles for "We illegally put packages in your postal box rather than at your door, oh, and we also run across your grass every day." Anyway, the processor arrived in great condition except for a few bent exterior pins which were easily fixed and some necessary persuasion into the socket ;) The computer posted fine except for the obviouis "No System Disk" error we all know and love. My BIOS happily reported two 244's and 1024MB of RAM. Hopefully this weekend I'll get a temporary OS installed to test the components under some stress.
