Probably the power supply..just ran it over to the local repair guy...using my Asus eee now...
- e-pill0
maybe its just the battery? that might be it, or it might be the power adapter faulting with a battery that died... this happened to me.

No matter what it is, I'll use it as an excuse to justify buying a new machine...

Dammit. I just stopped at the 'puter repair place to see what was up. They first told me it was the power pack - which did indeed go bad, but now they can't even see the data on the hard drive...
"I can try to see if I can dump the data...anything specific..."
"Yeah - I have a like 40 gigs of music on there...and personal pictures...and tons of fonts. Oh and my illustrator files..."
"Anything else?"
"...."
"What?"
"Porn. OK. Porn. It's in the video folder. In My Documents. Stupid I know. Just leave it. God is punishing me, obviously. Wipe the porn off of there and pretend we didn't have this conversation."
"Um..ok...sure thing..."
"Don't judge me."
"I'm not..."
"You are...oh god..I need to leave..just call me when you're done..."
*runs out of store

Chin up.
You can always re-download the porn.
- You know how many man hours that would take?TheBlueOne
- It's the process, not the end product.harlequino
- No, it really is the end product.Jaline
- how about man on man hours?7point34
- Sure, as long as it leads somewhere.Jaline

...omg our tech guy just ran into the back of the office all joyous saying he just had a guy drop off his puter filled with 40gigs of porn...

Lolz.
Powersurge? Weird that the disc is fried. I'm sure it'll be okay. You'll be watching cat-ladies take on tentacles in no time.

I hope you don't keep porn on your work machine...
That being said, I once had questionable images and videos (I blame QBN too) on my laptop and acted like it was never there when the repair guys asked me what I needed (how about "everything"?). The only thing they were able to recover was my downloaded/pirated Calvin & Hobbes comic strips. Yaay.
- Nevermind about the first sentence. I read your note above.Jaline

Not entirely related, but this does remind me of the time a client contact sent me the login info for an FTP folder from a random tech guy, and the password was "dickfart."
- ********0
J*sus, I didn't read that correctly. In some countries a puter is a vajani. HHEHE
- TheBlueOne0
Every time this happens to me I always promise to not download the porn. And I'm good for a few months, and then I weaken...and the folder grows larger...
And then the shame..
- "folder" is a metaphor, right?harlequino
- well realistically the older you get the worse it's gonna look. you're pushing it, rev.7point34
- in 10 years this is just going to be creepy7point34
- TheBlueOne0
OK, just kidding about the porn..just really hoping they can pull the data off the drive...I have tons of typefaces on there I don't think I backed up...and lotsa music and personal pics...
- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAJaline
- Rrrriiight.Jaline
- That reminds me. I should back up tonight.Jaline
- "personal" is a metaphor, right?harlequino
- No, that is not a metaphor, harlequino.Jaline
- Well, there are those ex-gf pics...OH MY GOD>>>IF THOSE GO ON THE INTERNET.....oh god...TheBlueOne
- "back up" is a metaphor right?7point34
- No, but "pull the data" was...TheBlueOne
- Let's just admit that "TheBlueOne" is a metaphor too.Jaline

i can picture the following scenario:
sweet old lady walks in to have someone fix her 486 for the 17th time this month. walks right into the end of this conversation: "... don't worry, sir. we'll make sure to get the porn."
you turn and see the lady, turn red and try not to make eye-contact as she winks at you and goes, "they always manage to retrieve mine."

- Something is going on with you today :)Jaline
- Yes. my 'puter went kablooey.TheBlueOne
