Hey, everyone! Sorry I've been absent the past couple of days. I woke up Friday morning to discover that my beloved HP Media Center PC went tango uniform. (That's what J. said anyway. For us regular non-military folks, that means it bit the dust.) No amount of coaxing, whispering sweet nothings, or direct threats from myself and 3 other IT folks could bring it back to the living. I suspect it's either a bad power supply or the motherboard.
The PC's 4 or 5 years old so replacing the motherboard really isn't worth it. You can't even get the one that is a close approximation to what is in there. J. is whispering in my ear that my birthday is coming up in 3 weeks or so, so maybe it's time to just replace it. Yeah.....computer shopping! :-)
I hope to be back up and running this evening and I'm looking forward to making the rounds to everyone's blogs and seeing what you've been up to.
Have a great Sunday!
Hey CP,
ReplyDeleteI made the Gruyere Cheese Puffs yesterday afternoon and they were delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
We had the same HP, and it bit the dust after 3 years... we're on a Dell now and so far, so good. I got a cheap E machine and it kept us going for 2 years, and is still in use with the grandson. Good luck in your search!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes with the computer hunt! Mine died last fall and Hubs replaced it with a nice laptop :) I usually use it at my desk but like that I can move around and take it with me.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to when you get connected again!
