Fried Hard Drive on 3 month old computer!

Post by lucky1 » Sat May 05, 2012 1:37 pm

I'm stunned that a new computer can fail after only 3 months.

And the b*ggars wouldn't give me a new one, said they'd send it to Vancouver for repair.

Told them I didn't want it repaired as it's under warranty.

Finally got it back with a new hard drive after 9 days.

Having no computer is like quitting smoking :lol: :lol: :lol:
Withdrawal is brutal.

And then 160 emails later.... :lol:

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Trying to catch up on all the posts.
Gonna crack a beer to keep going.

Glad everybody's had such success so far this spring.

Never had "but beer"......thank god-
I can't believe I have to explain this :wink:

You drink the coffee so you can drink more beer!

Worked so good for me I had to quit drinking coffee :lol:


BTW

On an unrelated note,my computer has almost failed on me every time
I think of smashing it on the ground-next best thing to the person who made it :argue:
