My sad story
Ok, now I will explain everything. Why I never posted for sucha long time. So, be warned, this is a LONG post.
It all started a few weeks ago when I thought that it would be cool to swithc to Linux Mandrake 10.1. I was getting tired of Windows, and it was not letting me form it into my will. So, I bought Linux (yeah, i know its free to download, but i did not have the time).
I formatted my computer, and installed Linux, which took about two hours. It worked, except i could not go on the internet, which is what i needed to do quie badly to get anything to work.
The modem was not supported by Linux. So, I went and bought a new modem. yay. But, when i put the modem into my computer, it said tat Linux dos not support this modem. Now, I was getting irretated. I got my money back for te modem, and I went to a place and asked if they have modems that will work with Linux. They told me that there was no modem that is in South Africa that will work with it.
I was furious, they had only told me now. I was really getting irretated. Now, my only hope was to install windows again. So, i formatted my computer again. (I have formatted my computer many times before). When I was done, i put he hard drive back into the computer, and it would not boot up.
So, i took it to a place, and was told by several people that the mother board had given in due to static electricity. Now, I was worries. By this time, my rich uncle had come to visit, and he bought me a new motherboard. The mother board did not fit in my old computer box, so I had to buy a new one. Now I have a black one, mind you. Anyway, so he bought the new box, and put the motherboard in, and it still did not work.
We thought that then it was in fact not the motherboard, that had given in, but the CPU. The most expensive part of the PC. I was now REALLY getting woried. We took it in for an assesment, and it turned out i only plugged one cabe in the wrong place.
Then I thought, well, since i am on a buying spree, I might as well buy a new hard drive and 256 MB of ram. (now i have a 400 BG hard drive and 512 MB ram). So, I installed Windows, and voilla! Now I am back where I was before the incedent, whith only a very thinner wallet.
The end.
I will try to post on a regular basis from now on. ![]()
