DaddyJAK's blog: "JAK's THOUGHTS"

its funny that for the longest time i never had any problems with my computer up untill my mom passing away and ever since then its been one problem after another. So far $350 in having a tech guy coming out to look at it only to fix some problems and after he leaves more arise. 

First problem i was having was the whole thing freezing up anywhere from 5 to 15 mins after getting online (didnt matter what i was looking at...fubar..emails...ebay) so i made the 1st appointment to have someone look at this POS. by the time he got here (3 days later) when i'd try to start the computer i was getting the blue screen. So mr. techguy takes the tower to the shop and comes back an hr later with the computer working ok (fixed a corrupt file which kept triggering the blue screen) but the main problem still existed (freezing up).

Second time mr. techguy came here i had him scan and clean the entire computer for all the bugs and things not needed hoping that it would also help the freezing problem. you guessed it, computer was clean as can be but still freezing up.

This third and last time now not only do i still have the freezing up problem but now i cant get past the WELCOME XP blue screen. so mr. techguy spends almost 4 hrs trying this and that and nothing is corrected (only way i can get online is using safe mode with networking).

Today i decided to use a cherry bomb that was given to me (thanks sweety for getting it) and with this POS acting up the way it has been i decided to use my sisters laptop to do the bombing. Well a few minutes into the bombing it kept loosing the internet signal from the router so to remedy the problem i hooked the ethernet cable up to the dang thing and still wasnt getting much bombing done. 

so now with 2 POS computers from dell i am not a happy camper. so if my work does what it has been the last few yrs if i get a bonus i'm off to buy a decent computer that IS NOT A DAMN DELL. 

enough of my ranting...thanks for listening...John "JAK"
