Horrible Computer Morning

AlphaGam1019 · #1 03-12-2002, 05:42 PM

I have my computer connected to a power strip, which I turn off after I shut it down. I accidently did a turn off, turn on, turn off last night (my finger placed right in the center) and this morning my computer wouldn't boot up! Must have been on the phone with Dell at least 6 times.

Anyways, it ended up I had to format my drive (thus losing everything on it) it's alright though, I didn't have anything dire saved on my computer.

Had lots to download off the net today though!

I know that panic feeling. I thought that I couldn't retrieve the GTau and local alumnae contact list...almost 800 names!

Good it worked out...coulda been worse,lol.

i remember when i first started making bgsu's alpha gam web page. i had just finished like a third of it one afternoon and forgot to save it to the zip disk. i cried for like a half hour afterwards. ah well. the web site ended up getting done. and it doesn't look too bad. ehhhhhh...evil computers.

Nina,

Glad to hear that everything is basically OK! I have a love/hate relationship with computers...don't know what I did before them, but sometimes I would like to chuck mine out the window!
