It's a problem with the BIOS. I know that much. How to fix the thing and whether to bother to fix, that is the question. Whether it tis nobler in the day to suffer the financial loss of buying a new computer, or to call up the India help desk and, by non-understandable phone calls, end this? To call, to scream, to fix no more. Perchance to email again; ah there's the rub. For in calling it is since I cannot email any more
when my computer has shuffled off it's mortal coil
and restarts itself every 15 seconds.
That makes calamity of a rebuilt computer;
For who would deal with outdated micro-processors
Bill Gate's XP, the over-heated fan,
The pangs of a constant restart, the wireless delay,
The overflowing email lists and the forums
The patient merit of calling India Help Desks,
When she herself cannot make understable
what "Mike" might say? who would these troubles bear.
to scream and cry under a weary call,
But the dread of finacial loss after bought,
the undiscover'd Vista from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
and makes us rather bear those ills we have
than fly to others that we know not of?





....Can't tell whether I'm thinking of bother to fix the freaking computer again or buying a new one, can ya? :-) Or that I'm working on SCA projects at the same time? hehehehe....

Purple dress is almost done. It will be done tomorrow with pictures to follow. I promise! (Dad's computer likes my camera even if my own computer is on a constant restart and hated my camera before that...)

That's the most poetic ode I've ever heard for a dead computer.

:-) Gotta love Will Shakespeare.

XP is still available, for a limited time

If you can afford a new computer at all, act soon! You can still buy a new XP computer if you order online the next week or two. Link:

hmmmmmm, my desktop doesn't restart every 15 seconds, but it won't stay up more than about 30 seconds or so before it hangs. :-(
