Thumbs down Tonight is a Freaking computer nightmare

started my day at 9am, onsite to trouble shoot a box we sold a customer (oh, i work for a computer company).

So the OS is Hosed, needs a reload (solaris 10 X86). Unfortunately this box doesnt have a CD/DVD slot, so i cant slap one inthere.

needs to be Net boot/install. Hey, let me use my lap top as the install server, Nope, custom load of the OS craps up teh boot directory.
its now 3pm, i tell the customer, i will build a system and be back tomorrow.

4pm, arrive at office, start os load and then Install server config, 2 more hours. think i typo'd and cant get it to work, 2 more hours.

Its 8pm and I need to start the reload from scratch. get some food, come back 9pm, load is done but system is acting odd. gets worse. then smoke and sparks. fortunately i have one more server.
JOY I get to startover again.
10 pm let the install run , and go to my laptop. It starts to freak out.

What is going on tonight.. Did a butterfly fart in china twice? Are we getting a solar flare bouncing off the moon?

Its 11pm now, and i am going to check the system for progress.
before i have to wait another hour.
