Remember how around a month ago I was asking for opinions on computers, since mine is old and slow? Today I went to turn the thing on for the first time after having been gone for three weeks… and nothing happened. No explosion, no “fzzzzt,” no sparks and smell of ozone… it just sat there like a dead piece of crap, with one glowing green LED that showed that it was still getting power. So either the on/off switch is busted (huh), or something is screwy with the power supply. Hopefully the hard drive ain’t fried; if I can get that copied over, then nothing much has been lost, since I needed to buy a new computer anyway. I was just kinda hoping to be able to hold off on that additional fun expense for a few more months. Grrrr.
