This is evident from the scratching noise that it produces intermittently. That and also because it has started displaying the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. The last time I experienced this was more than a year ago but this time it is evidently worse because of the wonky noise. As good a time as any to upgrade the harddisk.

That very night, since we were rushing final preparations for my sister’s wedding, I forgot to unplug the telephone line from my ADSL modem. It rained very heavily (ironically) through the evening. When I got home at 5 am the next day (after wrapping things up at my sister’s wedding dinner), the first thing I noticed was the phone line still plugged in. Fortunately, the ‘DSL‘ light for the modem was still shining brightly. That meant that the modem was alright (Phew! 5 modems have already died on me in my 2 years of using TMNET Streamyx. If you’re looking to signup, let me know and I’ll be your referer :D).
