learning a language in my free time... anyway to validate or get credited for that?

I don't think it would be too important to spend money and effort on getting certifications. When I graduated with a CS degree, I had several interviews and no one ever really asked about specific languages that I knew let alone had certs. Mostly general OO stuff, design patterns, talk about...

Functional Programming

The only one I've used is Lisp. Not sure what reading to suggest, used it in a course in school and then only in a limited way using car, cdr, list, cons, cond, mapcar and a few operators. It was strange at first, no variables, no for, while loops, or if statements just recursion. Some...

HP touchsmart

that was part of the problem I couldn't even use a boot cd to start this machine. It was a bad hard drive though, I opened it up, unplugged the HD and got it to post. Installing windows now on a spare I had. Thanks for the suggestions.

Any place left to buy a legitimate copy of XP?

yes I noticed that too, although the full retail did sell for $299 before, I did find "scalpers" as high as $600 or more. I've never ordered from here, might be a possibility. http://www.discountmountainsoftware.com/miwixpprofuv.html?cmp=gp

Windows Media Player always crashes (Vista)

try this- start-all programs-accessories-command prompt, right click run as admin. Now type sfc /scannow at the prompt, this will attempt to repair media center, try that first.

Second PSU failure

specs- asrock am2 motherboard, 1 sata hdd, 1 dvd burner, cpu is an amd 3800+ socket am2, 2 sticks ddr2 512MB. There is no discrete gpu, uses onboard video and sound, I would think 300w would be enough, maybe it does need more.
