What do you do when the computer is gone ?
« on: August 02, 2004, 04:38:23 pm »
   I recently took my PC in for a HD upgrade, from 20 to 120. I know, all you experts do that stuff yourself's. I'm a mere layman and know not of these things. They transfered it all to the new one and installed it for me, everything is working fine !  :)

   I guess its like everything else we've become used to and take for granted, until its gone you don't realize how important it has become in your life... :o

   So, here I am with 10 days R&R from work and no PC... >:(    AS i walk by the "ROOM" I start to go in out of habit, then stop and stare !!

   The wife says "what are you going to do, I know you wanted to play your game while off work ?"    Ahhh...no biggy, I got other stuff needs attending to anyway. (yeah right)

Sister-in-law is up from Tenn. and their out and about, "What the hell"  I do the dishes, vacuum the house...But, I stop short of doing the laundry, after all if I do it like my single days and throw everything in together I can hear them now..."You Did What !!"

   So, I mow the lawn, trim and sweep..watch History channel (Nazis Gold)...walk by room   :'(    Oh..Oh...My Car !!  Hasn't been really cleaned in a while, like since last summer (LOL)     Vacuum it out, wash, wax, wipe down inside, and shine up the tires...still need to get the white walls "WHITE"    ;)

   Finally...the phone rings.. ;D  "I'll be right there"

Well, since I have a computer, my wife has one, and it seems I'm constantly in one stage or another of building a new one (usually for a relative or friend)...I'm only without one if the power goes out (and until I get my generator going..hey, it's Nebraska..lighting, hail, tornados)   :lol:

I'm in the same boat as the captain.  I now have four macs, and my PC to work with.  While this number will most likely go down in the near future, it looks like I will always at least be able to get online for the general run of the mill stuff.

But tell me, can you heal what father's done?
Or fix this hole in a mother's son?
Can you heal the broken worlds within?
Can you strip away so we may start again?
Tell me, can you heal what father's done?
Or cut this rope and let us run?
Just when all seems fine, and I'm pain free, you jab another pin,

well when i don't have the com, (my sister using it) i watch the BORING TV, i play Pokemon on the gameboy advance, i have a n64 but just the Zelda game and i don't like Zelda, if i find a movie to watch (VHS) at the video club i take it, but all the BORING movie the put out there not much to do, if i could have enterprise on VHS and sg-1 i would watch it but i don't have it Nown a DVD player (beside on the com), so i will buy a old com like a Pentium 1 so i can put some of my old game on it like sfc1, baldur's gate, transport tycoon, exile 3 ruined world (not the mist exile), and other game that wont required a Pentium 4 or equivalent to it, simply old game, i did have a power lost for around 10 to 15 minutes Friday and i didn't have to reprogram the vcr's for my Saturday morning cartoon, (mostly rerun) so not much to do but look at the wall or try to watch something i recorded last century on defective VCR, (bad recording), try to chat with mail by post (yea right) i week later you get the answer arrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggg :), well then use the phone eek time zone is a + 6 hours, (France) so i can't call anyone and i don't have anyone phone number + the long distance call are not free, so what to do but try to read a book (only during a sunny day cause of bad light, why does computer wont come with a power supply like portable?, well use a car battery and plug it into your PC, but i don't have a car of a car battery or boost cable, go buy them, well i wont try that cause i need to check how much power it need to work and have the ac/dc stuff right(not the rock group) so life is boring without a computer. :goodpost:
