MrPeng Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Have I mentioned today that I hate computers? Hate the people that use em even more, which I suppose means that I hate myself more than I hate computers, which at this point is a lot and true, since I seem to insist on constantly mucking about with the goddam things and all they do is betray me. I will never learn. My newest MoBo just went titsup, and I was diligent in troubleshooting so that I could return it to ASUS, the bastards. It seems to be the memory slot(s) as it won't post past the memory check, but the vid card registers OK. Drives all work in other machines. I'll slap the mem sticks in a machine at work tomorrow, but I don't think they are the problem. Anyway I get the S/N and model number off the fookin thing, and get an RMA number from Asus, the bastards, and go to collect all the bits that came with the fookin thing and I can't locate the box. Then I remember that I threw the bastard out not more than two weeks ago. I was re-re-re-organizing the office and came accross the box and I was being merciless in my organizing (chucking old crap out) and out went the box. Well, Asus, the bastards, will reject any item that is returned in anything other than the original package, so I am screwed. It is getting harder and harder to find MoBos for old Athlon CPUs too. It was a pretty sweet machine for such an old chip. Twin WD 120Gig HDDs, the Athlon 1.1Ghz, Gigabit Ethernet, a 128MegoRAM vid card and a gigoRAM... sure sure it ain't a New AMD or PIV, but it was solid and not too expensive to put together...****eballs. So here I am at almost 1:30 in the am finally finishing up getting a PoS put together so my wife can get her work done tomor... TODAY and restoring all her crap from backup (I really don't mind when the thing kicks off at 1:07 every morning and interrupts my CM or CoD game.) Instead of facing the shame and humiliation of lost data from the wife tomor... today, I will just have to cope with the standard daily doses of scorn and ridicule. I can live with that. So, unless I can get a temp MoBo from work tomorrow, there won't be any turns out until Tuesday at the earliest. This PoS has 8MB on board video and no AGP slot and it wont even run CMBO. Heck, it wont even register more than 512 megoRAM. And its a fookin 400MHz Celeron. I'm fairly certain that we have a couple Socket As lying around from the whitebox AMD phase, before we went all IBM/Lenovo ThinkCentre, so I otter be able to temp it until I get a new one. Oh, and Mace, the check is in the mail... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think either their QA is starting to slip, or they're jealous of our exalted status as MBT members. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalem Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Getting used to this "work" thing is rough on a guy. So is staying up all Friday night smoking cigars so big and dark that they should have had Field Marshall Bradley on the other end of 'em. And the martinis, I can see how they could grow on a fella, yes indeed. But most important of all, "Make it ba-gawk." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more of his sniveling of "I want to be as tough as my wife but don’t know how” and his complaints uttered in a plaintive whining way of “you can’t do that”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ng cavscout Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 alright you lot, I finally got back from that mission. Let me tell you, IED detonations sure do have a way of putting your life into perspective. Boo, stop fantasizing about Stikky's lips. Lady Sedai, as always, your presence is a breath of fresh, flower scented, air in this reeking pit of bowel gasses. Seanachai, what are you doing in the pub again? Did they finally get the booster chairs you kept railing on about? Mace, I am glad to see that the Oddstraylian contigent is still ably represented, well as ably as the Oddstraylians are able to do anything.... Who let Stoat in? Why hasn't someone shooed him into the proper line to sign up for the Special Olympics? Why hasn't 37mm taken him to serf yet? We all know how lonely 37mm gets , he needs something to love and hold and pet and call George. That is all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Sir Sir 37mm once again misses the chance to pick up a serf who occasionally visits the MBT or maybe even sends a turn, and is stuck at his wistful grasp at ol' sturmy a month or two back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all I understand completely, those little suckers can startle you if you're not careful. By the way, the things that turn them on are called activators, not detonators, detonators are things that make explosives blow up.
