good news and bad news, part 2
So I got my computer back today. Everything was great: I was emailing and IMing and watching Strong Bad and such. Meanwhile, I was also trying to get what I had archived off of the P. school servers to put back on my computer.
And it was working.
When suddenly, out of the blue, the computer shut down. Not the normal shutdown process: it just shut down. And wouldn't start again. Luckily, I hadn't left school yet, so I took it down to the tech folk who looked at me incredulously until they tried it themselves. It got halfway through powering up and then shut down. Then it powered up, one person logged in, and then it shut down. Looks like another short circuit.
And then they tell me that this short circuit is most likely what caused my last hard drive to destroy itself. I'm quickly running out of patience.
