Just Killing a Little Time...

[bookofmirrors]

I don't think I posted about this earlier, but when we moved my computer back across the office, and rearranged everything, and finally got it plugged back in...

Upon booting up, it promptly made a popping noise, followed by the smell of the magic smoke escaping.

*sigh*

Shortly thereafter, after ignoring my attempts to turn it back on, it spontaneously booted - I could hear it running, but nothing was coming up on the monitor except the usual monitor self-test.

So, I'm on the husband's computer indefinitely.

Oh, and they won't let LPNs be charge nurse. Hey, it was worth a shot!

And I had a fabulous Valentine's Day yesterday. :)

Hee hee hee... You're so cute! You think I actually have time that I'm on the computer! Hee hee hee...

I'll try to remember to call you, though. :)

I think I just need to bite the bullet and buy a new prefab machine from one of the monster corporations. This is happening way too often.

For less than $1k I can get you a very strong Dell with a good warranty. :)

I was kinda hoping for about half that price....

Could also just be a power supply issue. I'd be willing to put it on the bench and at least take a look.

That's not a happy noise from a computer.

Happy V-day!
