From bad to worse

From bad to worse
I took the computer back to the place I bought it from.
Good News: The power supply is fine
Bad News: The mother board is toast
Good News: The computer is still under warranty
Bad News: That mother board is no longer made
Bad News: Because it is no longer made they think they will have to reformat the drive.
Bad News: The 512mb memory module is toast too
Good News: The memory is still under warranty
Bad News: I told them to try putting in another drive and format that.
Good News: 40gb drives are cheap
Bad News: The kid will be very mad if they re-format "her"drive"
Good News: As long as it is in the shop I told them to add more memory and a CD-RW for which they may wave the installation charge.
Bad News: I am not sure how I am going to pay for any of this.
Good News: I didn't wreak the car driving back in the rain.


I hate days like this. It makes me wish I were a gypsy.
