Oldsoldier's PC Crashed

**pocomoonskyeyes** · 01-09-2010, 01:21 AM

OS PM'ed me and asked me to pass this info along so that no one would worry or think he abandoned us.

had a major computer crash last night. I am sending you this message from my iPhone. Please let the pack know for me what happened. I hope to be back on by middle next week either with a new computer or mine repaired. It's hard to do much with the small screen on my phone. But I may at least be able to keep an eye on PM's and such. Thanks Mel
Don

Hmmmmm. At least Mr. Gadget had his i-phone as an alternative.

**Rick** · 01-09-2010, 08:47 AM

"Mr. Gadget". That's funny. I forgot about that. I'm sure as the PC went down a couple of satellites repositioned to provide him with better iPhone reception. All part of his command center programming.

WARNING!!!!!Okay gang I'm back so you can stop talking about me. LOL. luckily My computer had "laptop syndrome" One of the main borads in the computer has a tendency to "heat up" in a laptop and eventually it will melt the solder joints and cause a systems crash. It seems according to the repair shop that it eventually happens to ALL pc's but for some reasons a mac is NOT suceptable to this problem. So anyway I didn't seem to lose any data or most importantly I didn't loose my bookmark for WSF! Good to be back now I've gotta get caught up when I can.

**trax** · 01-12-2010, 06:25 PM

Glad you're back buddy, but let that be a lesson in computer care to all of us. Rick is exhausted from thinking about actually having to do something. Yeesh, give the poor guy some consideration people!

Can I go back to sleep now. Do you have any idea how demanding it is being the Minister of Science. "Excuse me. Can you minister this for me?" It's non stop.
