The monitor went out on it but the rest of it still works. if your monitor is still working they should work together. <BR/>i cleaned it all off already it just needs to be reinstalled with the windos cd's and I still have those plus a few other programs.<BR/>I switched to a Mac laptop so I don't need any of it anymore. Let me know if you can use it and I'll bring it this Sunday.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690173870156514664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048575444859487507.post-83742719684841721822007-06-07T21:23:00.000-04:002007-06-07T21:23:00.000-04:00From your description, I'm picturing the think wak...From your description, I'm picturing the think waking up from a coma, burping up long-lost e-mails. could get ugly. <BR/> BTW, You can't afford a new computer until you are back from your family's summer travels....and maybe later. Gives you lots of time to shop for a great deal, and learn all the latest stuff. :-) Of course, if you can combine it with a move: you can always have a giant garage sale, and then go shopping ! :-)Sloppy Classicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868058295443684964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048575444859487507.post-60474382706338339092007-06-07T18:09:00.000-04:002007-06-07T18:09:00.000-04:00My daughter tells me that she was considered the e...My daughter tells me that she was considered the electronics-guru at Borders. Her handy-dandy trick to fix anything electronic was to [geth this... it's earth-shattering] turn off the machine if possible. Then unplug it. Let it sit for 15 minutes or an hour. Plug it back in. Poof -- often it will work.<BR/><BR/>And apparently that Catechism of Chalesm is good-n-lost because you didn't even know about it.

Oh, and contemplate off and on the feasibility of replacing the thing.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I could get the computer to do, at least so far as I could perceive, was to turn on. The only evidence of this was the green light by the power button and the noise of the fan. Nothing else. I had to unplug the thing to turn it off, as nothing else appeared to have any affect.<BR/><BR/>I had already reached the same conclusion that you have: talk to the Emmaus computer gurus.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what the Cathedral of Chalesm is, or was, but I guess that fits the circumstances. It does seem that "The Cathedral of Chalesm" would make a great name for a blog (post). And since it's lost and gone forever, you could say anything you want (about it). Perhaps it is the place where all the missing socks have gone.Rev.

Can you get the computer to do anything at all? If it's really acting up, and there are files on it you haven't got copies of, you should probably ask Mr. Tribble or Mr. Smith to take a look at it (I'd offer but my experience with PCs is pretty limited).<BR/><BR/>Rememeber, nothing is lost forever, except the Cathedral of Chalesm.Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425529127597760502noreply@blogger.com
