Thursday, February 27th, 2003 12:23 amIt happened, the day I've dreaded for the past 2 years and knew it would come someday, today was that day: My computer, my T-1 connected, 80 Gig, full o Tool baby died. The OS, Win ME (oh yes, laugh all you want, I always did) refused to boot after I uninstalled Internet Explorer (that's the ONLY thing I did, I knew what I was doing). I called customer service, they made me cry; This way waaayy beyond my ability. I called some comp stores, they refused to do what I wanted.... I went and visited the new independent repair guy down the street. He seemed really awesome and astonished at my ability to eat hard drive space and was comfortable with the sort of data on the machine and what I wanted him to do with it. And charged 30% less than the other computer guys.
So I've been without email and internet for ummm.... 14 hours. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
"How much hard drive space is on it?"
"Recognised 74 G."
"How full is it?"
"70 G."
*jaw drops* "What takes up that much space?"
"Bootlegs."
"Are you running an entire bootlegging operation?"
"Not exactly."
"No, it's okay."
"There's cartoons too, lots of cartoons."
"Why don't you burn CDs?"
"I went through over 100 in the past month."
"What ARE you doing?"
'Watching cartoons...."
I get her back at 11 am, he promised to do all he could.
saw Michael Moore speak for free tonight. Snazzy and funny
