As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Very French?

Or maybe its got a lot of Celtic design elements?
I ended up ordering this case. I'll let y'all know whether it's Celtic or French.
Hahaha! Could be both!

Disassembled my brand new laptop yesterday to see where the M.2 slot is.

Had the bottom case almost all the way off when the last clip suddenly released and the case flew out of my hands, yanking the HD ribbon cable out of the SATA connector in the process.

Sigh.

Guess I needed to buy that M.2 drive sooner than I anticipated. :roll:

I love the "Have one to sell?" invitation.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a sudden outpouring of such offers on Ebay?
