'Puter whirrs
If sick cats need purrs, then sick 'puters need whirrs :-)
Home Puter refused to start up this morning. Its been a bit wonky up until now, in that it didn't always want to recognise its hard drive, so sometimes you'd have to boot three or four times before it recognised the hardrive (and therefore executable software) and kept going to a usable Puter. It was stable after it had found its hard drive, but because of its problems when booting up, we tended to just leave it on with a screen saver running. But this morning I woke up to a blank screen and it never woke up again. I'm hoping its still under warranty, because I'll be taking it back to the shop this lunchtime. I hope its something as simple as a loose connection, and won't take long to fix, because Joel will start getting twitchy if he can't play World of Warcraft, and a cranky and twitchy Joel is not something I want to put up with (I don't call him a Bear for nothing!). I'll start getting twitchy too if I can't access my e-mail and RPCA on the weekend, but at least while I'm at work I have ways of contacting the outside world :-) So any spare 'puter whirrs out there would be appreciated.

aw, hope it's still under warranty. I know about 'puter withdrawal, it's
happened to me several times over the years. Jazz & his mama -- Irulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time "Yowie" wrote in message ...

Multiple whirrs from the Butlers. You don't still have Windows 98 do you?
I used to get that re-booting thing in the morning, and finally upgraded to WinXP. -- Shirley B.
