Computer meltdown.
Oct. 12th, 2008 04:52 pmComing to you Live, from the college, yes, on a Saturday.
Fired up the computer Saturday morning. It came up to the Acer screen (it's an Acer computer), hit a snag, shut down. Then tried to reboot, came to the Acer screen, hit a snag, shut down. I tried F8, tried F1, F10.
Crap.
Called computer guy. He said, "Just do a system restore with the discs you were supposed to make."
"What discs?" I said, thinking ooops.
Did you know you can hear a facepalm over the phone?
"You better bring it in," he said.
Computer's in the shop. Expect limited posting.
All those who weighed in on WG's situation: he's decided the guy's a jerk, and thinks you're all very good people (and insightful, too). He thanks you all very much.
ETA: Wait. Where's![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
