I don't think I've ever known a more computer-unlucky guy. Glad to hear he's OK. I hope that computer gets fixed soon.
Have you followed @zannej's fun?
I think the new one she got her mom only made it a week or 2 :(.

I've really only had one computer die, it took a lightning strike/EMP pulse to do it. Mostly they get so slow they are painful to use, or are so old I can't update the software anymore.

Lori and I are geeks, we have so many platforms for accessing the internet, there are 5 on my desk , she has at least 3.

I just bought my 3rd laptop, didn't have great luck with the first two. Didn't like either of them, one was a company laptop. So i was leery about buying this one, thought about it for 6 months before pulling the trigger. It's a dell, there were cheaper systems out there but were company names i've never heard before.

I've had great luck with desktops. Of course i built the first 4, they lasted 29yrs total. Bought a dell the last time, a decent system but only got 4yrs out of it. Moral of the story, if you have the skills, build your own pc!

I got my last desktop, a used business computer, from a very kind forum member. I loaded linux on it, been running like a champ. Hope it lasts a while.

My computer needs change over time, unsure which way to go in the future. Hoping the dell laptop will buy me time if this desktop dies anytime soon.

He is back home with his computer, but it won't be set up till later today or tomorrow because he needs to clear a space for it and he's an old man.
 
Once again we are facing delays. At least tomorrow.
Does he need to borrow a crank rope?

He hasn't been able to get his computer out of the car because of the weather. It should clear up tomorrow according to this weather site.
