I remember getting alcohol 120% from a less than reputable source. Soon my Windows ME install was dead and the BIOS could no longer boot from CD. That computer was dead...

Yeah but that was just WinME 's normal behavior.

Oh meep, one of those viruses that overwrites those ranges in lower memory...

Did you ever try to boot it from a floppy, just to see what would happen?

[goda90]

No. I was still pretty young and not that knowledgeable yet. My dad was more of a power user than an expert. It went to the basement and I got a used Dell with Windows XP several months later.
