Let me explain... this Friday i woke up and my PC was dead. or at least blind. The motor was still chugging but the screen was black. So, "dead video card" i thought, "ill just go down to best buy and get a new one". So I pick up a new Mid-range card, bring it back, pop it in, and it works. For a while at least. The next morning i wake up and the thing is deader than it was the previous morning. It wont even boot up. So I call up a friend who's fluent with PC hardware and he says that my Power supply has probably died. So, Once again, Down to best buy, bring back a new power supply and install it.
Nothing. It's now officially a paper weight.
It feels almost as if a relative has died. I feel totally displaced over here on the couch, bent over typing on my Macbook. The PC nook I've established is very comfortable. Perfect chair, perfect desk height, monitor tilted just so. I spend hours there, surfing the web, writing scripts,gaming. Its like my home within my home. An extension of myself.
Needless to say, this will not stand. ITS UPGRADE TIME. As soon as possible I'm going out and buying a new PC with a processor twice the speed of my 2-year old machine. and with the new graphics card and power supply my computing power will be greater than ever. You'll see. The Nook won't even know that i was gone.
