This is not a good week for computer repair – for anything computer it seems. I wonder if the moon is void-of-course??
Yup. Check this out. Moon went void:
Fri Dec 16 7:34 PM To Sun Dec 18 9:19 AM Moon enters Leo
At approximately 7:30 pm, SO’s computer went south. I mean it’s gone. Harddrive is shot.
B dropped his computer off on friday night around 8:30 to be repaired, reformatted, stuff added, etc. Easy enough. We’ve done it plenty of times.
Didn’t do anything to it, as SO was working on his puter. Looked at B’s computer late. Started work on it Saturday, everything went smoothly. We only have 2 working monitors – we’re actually used to having at least 4 monitors, but they’ve broken and we’ve trashed em without replenishing our supply.
Anyway, I finished B’s computer around 11am or so. Talked to him on the phone; said he’d be by
on Monday. The computer was working fine. Ran like a champ, B would be pleased. We were glowing in our success.
SO began work on his computer, found a harddrive that would work – we have like 20 laying around in varying sizes, got his computer running ok.
B comes by Monday, pays me some excellent bucks, takes the computer home and the f*&!@*!!er won’t &%#!!@in boot. I immediately went over, got the computer and brought it home. SO worked overtime to 10, came home and westarted troubleshooting. Until 3 am.
A few minutes ago, my computer blue screened and now will not recognize my second hard drive.
Not a good week for computer repair.
We stuck B’s harddrive in SO’s computer, and we’ll give that one to B as a loaner. In the meantime!
(keeping in mind that I still have Christmas shopping to do and moms doc appointments to keep)
In 2000, I went to a computer show and bought a motherboard, a case, a cpu, a processor – all the components one needs to build a computer. I had plans of building a computer. It would have been top of the line, for the time – I spent some bucks on it.
I never built the stupid thing. It’s been sitting in a closet in all it’s componentry since sometime in 2000.
Luckily, B’s computer was born in 2000. So, I will build him a new one.
This may actually all be for the best. B is *dying* for a new computer. He wants his own, currently shares his with his wife, and she won’t let him get one.
She’ll change her mind after using SO’s for a few days.
