Flying Beastie Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Hey folks, it's me. If anyone's been wondering why I haven't been around in a few weeks (if you even noticed I've been gone :rolleyess), there're a variety of reasons: (1) I've just gotten through the last weeks of the school year, which means essays, term papers, research papers, and much jumping through academic hoops to register for summer school and next year's courses. (2) I require a basic level of functionality from my computer. I really don't think it's too much to ask that the computer, at the very least, be able to turn on and run quietly when I press the "power" button. I also require that it run WordPerfect and be able to attach to the internet to send and receive Emails. Lately, my machine has been unable to perform even basic functions; it sometimes burns out just due to the strain of booting up. I've finally managed to browbeat my mother into springing for a new computer (I'm way beyond a simple upgrade). Hopefully, the new PC will happen sometime within the next few weeks (and I'll finally have a chance in hell of playing JKO). (3) This place. Being a student, I don't have a lot of opportunities to come here (lately, Friday night has been it), and lately every time I try to log on, my crappy connection shatters from the strain. Hopefully this problem is mostly on my end, and will be remedied by the new computer. What I'm saying is, I haven't been ignoring you guys out of bad feelings, and I'm not getting tired of coming here, I've just been swamped with work and a bad computer. I'm not gonna be back for a few weeks (exams start up this Friday, and are going right until the start of spring semester), but I will be back, eventually. Be excellent to each other. *says a quick prayer and presses SEND before the connection flatlines* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Rabbit Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 I think having a sense of humor is a prerequisite for this site. Otherwise, you just get beaten up, robbed and shoved out the airlock... Hey, Beastie! Sounds like your computer is even worse than mine. Have you tried using a hammer to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Hammer?!? Ppppfft! That's such a low-tech solution. Use a rechargable circular saw instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
