Incommunicado: Broken 'Puter...

[motordavid]

Hi Faves&Regs,

Our 5 yr old Dell w/Wind 98 2nd ed., took a big dive Monday eve:
it had been very hard to "shut down" lately, and it would not fire
up on Tues am. It goes through a couple of the start up noises, but
some are "missing" and I never get to a normal screen with icons, tool
bars, etc. No ticket, no wash.

I suspect it has crashed, (first time), and I hope my hard drive info is
retrievable. Since this area is not exactly the high tech capitol of
North Carolina, I am having a tough time finding someone to take a look
at my tower and give me a verdict.

I'm shopping for a new Dell, and hanging here at the County Public Library,
on their 'puters. I have to fight the kids off that wanna surf the free porn sites,

NEway, this situ sucks.

Also, this morning, my X's fan decides to goes toes up; thus, no A/C or any fan speed. The final resistor glitch, methinks. I'm still on Warr and also have a month left of the Ext Maint; now I gotta beg Fletcher BMW to get me in and hope they can fix it quickly, (45 mins away and not my fave Stlr.)

Other than that, things are fooking poifect here on the mtn...

I'll check back in a couple of days from the PubLib. PM me if ya'll needing to talk. Or, phone is 828-452-3447. Don't call to sell me sumpin'!
Talk and read ya'll, sooner or later.
BR, md
