My computer broke down - Zack - 04-19-2004
(I'm at an internet cafe right now)
Seems that SOMETHING...whether it be a power surge, a virus or whatever has killed my computer. I hope I don't lose all my files...geekery5 wasn't backed up! Neither was...anything else. :wink:
Anyway, I'm taking it in tomorrow, and hopefully fixage will occur. But no guarantees...
Just pouring out my misery.

Zack dont you use a surge protector or a stabilizer or a antivirus or a firewall?
No wait you use WinXP =P. Tough luck =*(. I know how you feel. It's been a long long month of computer trouble for me =(.

Dark's Tip for today:
backup EVERYTHING you want saved, regularly. I cant stress that point enough. I too lost all my files (and I had hundreds of personal files) =( So i cant stress it enough!! Take a cd-rw out now, and burn your data on to it!!!! It is so important.
When I lost my stuff, and knew i couldnt get it back, i was very upset because of the amount of things I had lost. hundreds of hours of hard work had gone into most of the work I had, such as models I had built and rendered, mini projects, reports, all my handmade website graphics, photos, pictures, etc. I think you get the picture. BACK IT UP!!!!!

For the 'modern' people I would suggest using DVD-RW if you have large amounts of data(like home movies and stuff). Otherwise a CD-RW would do =P.

hifty: No.
Anyway, it SEEMS to be fixed now, but it's...slightly slower. I really dunno at this moment.
Dark: Well said.
