Hi guys,

Sorry I've been missing for a few days. Just trying to catch up on the posts. I'm on the old Pentium 75 machine in the storeroom at work with a failing 10inch monitor. What a dinosaur. Still, it works, which is more than I can say for my main computer.

Major hard drive/mother-board/power-supply disaster on the laptop! . Nobody knows what really happened for sure.

The shop is trying to save something from the second HD in the machine , but I don't hold out much hope. Nearly three years without a glitch... not even a major lock up, then this.  

Just a tip... remember to back up!!!

New computer, maybe... How to pay for it?

BUGGER! as we say downunda'

Ozy

Oh my God! I hope that they obtain to save your files!     

        I'm very sorry about that Ozy !! I changed my hd some days ago and simply transfered and enlarged the partition with partitionmagick avoiding Deviant_Viking mess... I hate laptops, I had one but I succeed in destroying it very soon, and I paid for it a lot of money ....

You simply need a 2th and a 3rd job to buy another one

That really is too bad.

When Den has computer problems I stay away from him.
He turns into a maniac.  
There is a lot of swearing, screaming, pouting and other things whenever
there are computer problems.    
It's almost like watching a kid with a broken toy.  
I think he invents new swear words too.

I'm sure that everything will be back to normal real soon !

We need a list of Den's new swearing words so when we go to other sites we can swear in Den Code.           

Thanks guys.

I'm with Den, I'm not very much fun to be around when the 'puter is mucking up.

It's a long weekend where I live, so I won't have any idea if they could save anything until Tuesday or later. Damn, it's going to be a long wait!

I didn't loose too much, but still enough to upset me.

Maybe a good time for some days off

Yes Ozy, just take a nice break, relax, have a tuan pop tart and a beer and chat with us
I worry all the time about loosing stuff on my computer, but so far I've been pretty lucky. Of course I can't hold that record forever I'm sure, esp with all these nasty virus and worms going around. I think I"m going to spend my weekend backing up a ton of stuff and getting my computer organized. It's sad when you go to look for something and haven't a clue where it is or what you named it lol
Between DiscLib and Acdsee I should be able to get all my files orginazed as well as all my cd's
Just have to say no to "chat" while I'm doing it

No to Chat  :?

GP, Never!  

Looks like I lost everything on the HDs. I have the insurance stuff going on now. About a week until I find out how much they are going to give me. Luckily I had a specific insurance for the laptop for anything going wrong with it. So it should be okay... but you never know with insurance companies
