OK, so I just ended a chat session with Dell (yes, it's 3:15AM). It's
still under warranty, but it's gonna take about two weeks all-told.
I guess tomorrow night I'll bring my T42 to the meeting and hope someone
can help me get mythfrontend working on it. I don't want to hijack my
own thread, so I'll start a new one after a few hours of sleep.
