I came in this morning after having Monday off, to a non responsive computer. I’d been working at home Friday night/early Saturday morning and the network was flaky due to campus IT switch upgrades. I couldn’t ssh to my machine for the rest of the weekend and assumed the workgroup switch on my desk needed to be reset. Nope, that wasn’t it. It seems that the memory slots in my Dell Precision 470 2.8GHz Xeon workstation are corroding/burning the 4 512MB memory modules I have installed. I was able to boot after pilfering some memory from my data processing server. We’re in the year-end fiscal cycle so I probably can’t buy anything anytime soon. At least my Thinkpad is reliable.
