My Computer EXPLODED… HD Fryed
Well, I’ve been sent back to the stone age… and figured I would vent a little about it.
I came home the other night to an ‘off computer’.
Which… never happens, unless someones touchin my stuff.
- So I was initially a bit salty..!
After announcing it to the world.. (myself and the wall paper being home alone) I went ahead and hit the power button.
Instantly my computer sounded like it was going to literally shoot through the celling and puncture a hole in the atmosphere.
“Ohhh.. baaallllsss!!”
– My Income Stream!!
I knew it was going to happen too — I had been thinking to past few days about getting a new computer as this one was … well basically chalked to the hilt with stuff…
… Literally — My 1 Tera byte Hard drive had like 500Mb’s left on it.
Having several 320GB external hard drives full of crap put on over the years, I put off buying new hardware over the past weeks and trudged on ahead.
Fool I was apparently…
Now I type to you from a computer that is older than anyone can even remember…
Which is newer than my other option — a computer I used when I was 13 years old programming in Visual Basics 3.0 Pro
Way back in the way back — 16 bit days… AOL 3.0
Lets just say I might as well have been on a Tandy Sensation, the first computer I EVER had…
4Mb of ram… Windows 3.0 … Sierra Network style.. lol
Anyone on the reference?
If not, its easy to explain: The First computer to ever have a cd rom… you had to push the cd door in then manually pull it out.. then manually push it back in..
.. ah, those were the days.
So, now at Donkey riding speed… I have lost every single one of my passwords and logins — I Have been using Robo form for Months.
My adobe cs4 suite… wouldn’t even fit on this computer if it was empty… and its Not: not even close…
so I’m playing a major game of catch up!
But fear not — this was a good learning experience and as soon as the good ol boys at the repair shop get done chargin me $60/hour just to look at my computer…
… to tell me, “Yup, it’s broken alright” I’ll be back and better than ever!
So maybe you have a Minute? Care to share your horrible hardware failures… because when the pendulum swings down…
Successful people laugh it off… am I right?
All the best,
Aaron
