Bad week for hardware

[mbarrick]

Yesterday my development server's NIC went on the fritz. Fine it wasn't a major deal, just swap it out and load up the new drivers. Still it took a chunk out of my day that I wasn't planning on.

This morning I got into work any my loptop freaked on me. The hard-drive made ugly seeking noises and the damn thing refuses to boot and simply reports a disk I/o error. So, I am somewhat crippled today.
