My brand-new computer has died. Not the kind of we-can-fix-it-ourselves kind of death, the kind where someone actually has to come to your house and gut your harddrive. I'm really upset, mostly because we had our last computer for nine years and the only problem we ever had was a massive nasty virus thing. The hardware still works- if it wasn't slow as shit I'd hook it all back up. No, this brand-new customized super computer that we had FOR A MONTH just sputtered out and died for no reason. Yesterday at around 9:30 a.m. my mother checked her e-mail. I went on it at 6 p.m. and it wouldn't turn on, it just kept telling me to restart. So we eat dinner, blah blah, around 9 she calls tech support, and at around 10:30 they declare that the harddrive has died and we need a new one. GEE THANKS, DELL. Fortunately I don't think we have to pay, but we still have to load up both computers and bring them someplace to have the harddrives wiped. At least now we have an excuse to get all the crap off of the old computer and on to the new one, but since we have to wipe the new one too I'm not really sure what's going to happen. The computer I'm using right now is my father's computer in the house next door (my family's kind of notorious for having a lot of computers laying around) so I'm just thankful I can check livejournal and stuff. You know, while we're having my computers wiped, I might as well bring in Bob's remains and see if we can salvage crap off of him, too. We can just have a happy fun gut our computers party.
So that's why I won't be online too much until around Tuesday night. Last night I had my boyfriend go to all of my usual websites and read the updates to me. He's so sweet. <33
See you Tuesday.
Had my computer not died, I might have tried an April Fool's joke like last year's "I got my hair cut" joke. But obviously I'm not in the mood.
