Wish it was always this easy (PC woes)
I was right: it was a hardware problem, specifically the video card. I've never seen a capacitor "pop" before: there are seven on the card, the size of pencil erasers, and five of them blew their tops out. Wow, guess that's a problem.
I have ordered a new card. It ought to be here by Thursday: this one has a fan on-board, so as long as the power supply on my IBM can handle it (and I've no reason to think it can't) I should be back in business.
On to work.

I went to EI when they were still at 6000 Independence Ave.
If you follow the Google street view, the building now says "AVE PLAZA". It was an old bowling alley converted into a school. They didn't have the money to move to troost until they got some gubment programs.
