I hope its something as simple as a loose connection, and won't take long to fix, because Joel will start getting twitchy if he can't play World of Warcraft, and a cranky and twitchy Joel is not something I want to put up with (I don't call him a Bear for nothing!). I'll start getting twitchy too if I can't access my e-mail and RPCA on the weekend, but at least while I'm at work I have ways of contacting the outside world :-) So any spare 'puter whirrs out there would be appreciated. Yowie (and if radio silence follows, you'll know what has happened) I know what has happened. The puter is full of bubbels!!!!!! Good luck with the repairs.
