Just add an 'x' to my name.

My dearest laptop, Roxas, started acting funny late Friday night. By Saturday night he would no longer play with me at all. Sunday, I rushed him to Best Buy where he has been held captive ever since. Ah, how lonely I was! I was, to paraphrase Mrew, like Sora with my Roxas stuck in a digital Twilight Town. But I had been without the internet for ( Read more... )

best buy's "okay we'll hang onto it for two days...whoops! it has a virus! whoop! we can't recover it. whoops! we have to wipe the drive and install it fresh" is their general response to "man something slightly weird is wrong and we're really to lazy to figure it out let's charge them a lot of money to tell them they're fucked either way" or "uh we broke something while trying to figure out what's wrong and don't really want to own up to that".

there especially shouldn't be a reason for them to say "either we wipe this drive now or you give us $X and we'll save whatever we feel like saving can find; we are doing you a service here!" and not say "do you want to take it back for a few days and try to back up your files?"

um. yeah. i guess if best buy is your only option you don't have much of a choice, but sometimes i get kind of pissed off when someone's getting ripped off by shitty customer service, especially for things that i know i can fix in an afternoon :[

Yeaah....I mean, I generally hate bringing my laptop to Best Buy or any like place. When my old laptop freaked and virused out on me a couple times I always brought it to a friend or family computer perosn. But it happened so sudden this time and I didn't want to play phone/real life-tag with people who could maybe help =/

IF ONLY THIS HAD HAPPENED OVER THE SUMMER WHILE YOU WERE HERE. GAH. Luckily I have almost everything saved on an external hard-drive, so I only needed recent photos backed up....

gyabooo! poor Roxas!! T_T
im sure that once you plug in that external HD things will start to feel normal again! just you wait and see.

and if all else fails, my lappy - affectionately called Sparticus- will come to your aid with lots of little things that will make your Roxas feel all better!

Roxas is back. And I'm slowly adjusting. I-it's gonna take some time though. I feel like we have a lot of hurdles to jump over before we're back to the way we were ;_;

Hee...Sparticus XD

EXACTLY.

Though 'Rax' sounds like 'racks' which is like boobs. So maybe 'Xar'?
