On Top of Everything Else 3
The Family Windows box died.
“Hard Drive not found.”
Made sure everything was plugged in tight inside the box.
It was.
I ran out to Second Source and got another one. After a week-and-half playing IT Tech to my webserver, I really didn’t feel like playing bench tech to what is almost certainly a failed hard drive.
When I get a little energy, I’ll remove the harddrive, jumper it to slave, slap it into another computer, and see if I can salvage anything. All my important data is backed up in two or three different places, but I can’t say that about all the computer users in the house. . . .

It let me log in. Fixed.
I would say I feel for you, but it’s really hard to do. Really, you know how & what it takes to make them work again.
I get in that shape, at least I know who to call now.

[grin] Stuff happens. Computers are just things. Things can break.
Yeah, I know how to fix them. I enjoy making them work.
But I will never understand fuel injection. When my truck breaks, I take it to Donnie.
Donnie understands fuel injection.

Yeah, we found a really good mechanic in our own area. So far, he’s been able to handle all we’ve thrown at him, & quickly. He understands business use.
