Going ever further into debt...
Sep. 23rd, 2003 09:57 pmWell it's done. New computer has been purchased. Should be on its way in about a week, which is plenty of time to get the online backup thing sorted out (I hope).
I also found out that somebody else who got one of the leftover school computers has been having similar problems with it in the past few weeks. Makes me feel a little better. I think this is basically the natural offshoot of A) trusting the tech guy who IMO seemed a little too fond of patched-together solutions and B) using computers that, by definition, were broken in by extremely computer illiterate people.
So hey - new computer! Huzzah!
