My hard drive crashed on Friday, and I paid $160 for a new one.
Got it back on Saturday, without my programs, of course, but now I know how a heroine addict feels like without their fix.

the last time i sent a computer for repair the nice man decided the overheat temp was the problem and overrode it instead of finding the problem, so the poor thing fried. so much for fixing it. cost me his non repairs bill and another tower.

OMG nelly NOT a person to go back to - sheer stupidity and he should have been forced to pay the repairs
Judge I know how you feel. Even if you have all your programs it can take hours OR EVEN DAYS to get things running the way they used to
- this from someone who never uses BACKUP
Wiz - I remember those old computers. I thought I was realy rolling with 8 kb and those old dial-up modems that hurt your ears as they booted up
stilla - upgrading the RAM is easy and very often the best and easiest upgrade you can make. My personal opinion is that if it is doing what you want it to do then save your pennies until you really need to upgrade the whole system.
moshe - I always pull the old hard drives out which is why I have a growing collection of them in the computer (2) and in a box somewhere (3 or 4)

it was a hairline crack that was actually causing the problem, and it was throwin the blue screen of death. i think in the cpu its been a whiles now but that sounds about right.

poor you Lady lee.
I'm between computers at the moment and did not want to fork out on udating my internet security which had run out on the old one. But I have succumbed and got some internet security that has a 30 day free trial. If I like it I guess I can always keep it and use it for the new one too.
