    My computer got hit by lightning. Now i'm back on the old P.O.S. I guess it can happen to any of us. Surge protectors on my electrical outlets and on my outlet bar didn't help either. Oh well nothing last forever!!!!!!!

    POS = piece of shit as in "my old piece of shit computer"

    As of yesterday Mr. Critter, my wife got her new computer so I shall shortly be back on-line at home and can get up real ealry one morning to talk to you. What did she get? "Duuuuuuuuude, she's getting a Dell" She is already tired of my Duuuuuuuuude you got a new computer....Duuuuuuuuude, I like you computer, etc. etc.

    But wait, do you have Dell computer ads in Australia? The Dell spokesman in the USA is a little snotty nosed kid and every sentence out of his mouth starts with "Duuuuuuude"

    Ah yes, the reason I have the 'puter I got now is because of lightning, the reason my computer now has a new modem is because of lightning, the reason I seem to buy a new phone once a year is because of lightning. I love a good thunderstorm, but sometimes they get expensive.

    I sent the puter to the hospital to be operated on. Got a call from my computer tech guy and he said that it was going to cost 60.00 dollars to fix. He is going to charge me a 150.00 dollars for picking it up and reconnecting and resetting everything. Damn I need to go get me another job.

    I should have my puter back and running tommorrow.

    that's kinda beat. good that you're getting it back and nothing was majorly wrong with it, but it seems like you're paying a lot just to have it picked up and reconnected. got any friends who are computer saavy? i find that helps, but then again, i usually just ask my pop. he's pretty good with 'em.

    I use this computer to do all my company shit in. It takes about 2 hours to reprogram when reconnecting. The security program is extremely hard to set up. It has to be set up so I have different stages of security in alot of programs. I'd rather pay my computer wiz as to fuck with it!!

    Most of the other shit I do myself.
