offbalanceAs previously reported, my computer went kerfluey earlier this afternoon. I called Puck in a panic, and he graciously agreed to look at it when he got home.
I am absolutely flabbergasted to report that once again, I have caused the death of a motherboard. Seriously, I should look into getting a job testing these things. This is the third motherboard I've killed in two machines. TWO! I don't treat my computers any differently from anyone else I know. Why the blo
Puck has managed to rig me up a frankenputer in the meantime, so I can have some access to stuff during this pain-in-the-ass time. He assures me that he'll find a way, some way, to get me up and running again, but in the meantime, I have no itunes, no bitcomet, I have to use Word instead of Wordperfect (ick), and did I mention no itunes? ::sigh:: Still, I am extremely grateful that I have anything at this point. No internet makes Sharon a VERY cranky girl.
Still, as usual, I don't like it when this shit happens. I like my computer to just work and shut up about it. I treat it well. I keep my antivirus up to date, I invested in a good solid surge protector, keep it dust free, and all of that good stuff. This. should not. HAPPEN. I know it's 3 years old, but you don't expect a motherboard to blow after 3 years. Grrr. Stupid piece of...the temptation to go out and get a shiny new laptop is STRONG. I'm held back by a stunning lack of fundage, though. And the hope that Puck can pull a rabbit out of his computing hat and get me the part I need.
