Supplemental Blog: Computers Bite!

My computer i still not fixed, and it won't be fixed.  It turned out that my hard drives are toast after all.  Well, not totally.  The girl who was fixing them said that she couldn't find the operating system on either drive, which is a total crock because those are the same drives I've been using for the last five years.  But, whatever.  I'll be getting another computer next month, so as long as I can possibly retreive the info off of the old drives, then all is well. If not, no matter. I have most of my stuff backed up on data disk.  Including my beloved Adobe CS3 Suite.  *phew*

I didn't really like being accused of screwing up my own computer.  The damn thing worked just fine before I left for the funeral in February.  When I got back, the computer wouldn't come on.  The power supply was not working.  Ok, fine, so it got replaced.  I got it back only to find that it was missing a file that is required to boot up.  Ok, no problem.  I asked my friend to see if her boyfriend actually tested the darn thing before he just sent it on its way.  I never got an answer.  Whatever.  I did some research on the issue and I took a look inside the tower.  The drives weren't plugged in.  Ok, again, no problem, or so I thought.  I suppose it is possible that I plugged the drives in backwards, but I doubt that even that would be enough to fry BOTH drives.  Whatever.  My computer doesn't work, so I darn well better be getting my money back, considering that I'll be turning over the power supply that she put in.  No big deal.   What I want is for the data on the hard drives.  And, even if I don't get it, oh well.  I'll survive without it.

But, for any of you looking for my blog button, it is going to have to wait until I get the new computer.  Sorry.

Either way, I'll be glad when this is all over.  And the moral of the story is:

Just leave the stinking computer ON when you go on vacation....


LOL..
