So yesterday I finally went and did it, got everything that I needed to rebuild my “regular” computer that’s been sitting on the floor of my friends bedroom for the past 6 months collecting dust bunnies and dust kangaroos. I said how I needed everything Monday night to drop it off Tuesday afternoon but no one really ever listens to me, and no one really realizes that the best way to contact me is through my phone.
So instead I’m stuck waiting around for a phone call that never comes.
I was able to pick up my computer from downtown though by calling the other guy directly then driving down, and then took my chances at playing “I was just in the neighbourhood” and actually won, since I showed up at their doorstep the minute they had showed up. So I could pick up that computer as well. And a monitor. But that’s for another day.
So at least I can drop everything off.
But I need to get some new harddrives since mine keep f*cking up.
My plan is to get two 160gb hard drives to replace the one 250gb hard drive that crashed too many times. I know it’s a Maxtor and it’s the second harddrive I’ve done through in as many years (with the fact that my computer was also out of commission for 4 months the first time and 6 months the second time, just due to sheer laziness of my family & friends, and out of stupidity of me for not knowing how to fix stuff
myself) I’m just scared I’ll be dumping more money into a machine that won’t work.
Alas, I’ll try once more, and if this fails me too then I’ll just buy a pre-fabricated laptop and call it a day.
