Message from Togas, please read Remove this text

From Togas, I think I should share this with the rest of the team.

quote:

Guys,

While watching the absolutely astounding comeback of the Indianapolis Colts I
failed to pay attention to my computer.

In the middle of overtime my girlfriend called me into the computer room because
something was burning, and after we went on a mad scramble about the room
unplugging powerstrips and checking outlets and the breakers, I finally looked at
my oddly frozen computer screen, and turned it off. Turning it back on .... it
died mid start-up. Opening the case, we discovered the SOURCE of the burning
smell, but still don't know if it's the CPU or one of the drives or what that's
fried. :/

I'm writing this email from her computer.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to get to the bottom of what just died. I can still do
SOME participation in the Poly stuff from work on my lunch break, but I'm going
to be out of commission for the next few days to a week.

I'm actually praying it's the CPU because if it's the harddrive I'll lose stuff
like C3C and other files I can't back up. If it's the processer I'll just buy
another one and deal with it.

Anyhow, I'm seriously annoyed. Please spread the word that my computer is
friend. I'll get caught up tomorrow from work -- so I won't be entirely out of
the loop, but I won't be idling online anymore until this thing is fixed.

--Togas




I hope he gets it fixed.

Put an end to popups!

Well, as a Minnesota Vikings fan, I can say that us what he gets for watching the Colts game.

(Actually - living in Toronto, all we get are Bills' games.)

Good luck Togas! Get back on line soon.

I'm online from work. Going to try to sneak in more Apolyton time during my office days. I'll still be around as much as I can afford to be without getting caught.

Or to set one of the extra mouse buttons to close (all) windows; much quicker ;-)

I don't know how important some of the info on your possible burned drive is/was, but there are ways to retrieve at least some of the info even if it is badly damaged.
It can be quite expensive though, so I don't it's worth it for a C3C save-game, yeah, I know, I'm not as hard-core as I used to be :-D

Didn't you were a tester btw..

Hope you find a solution to your computer troubles, Togas. In the meantime, I assume that Master Zen acts as acting FAM during times of your absense

I'll be semi-active while my CPU is down. Posting and reading from work. I'm taking my computer into the shop today during my lunch hour to get the repairs started.

MZ will act as FAM while I am unavailable.

Get a bigger avatar today!

Long story short: Computer repair shop quoted me a price that was WAY too high. I decided to order a new computer motherboard/processor/memory online. Bought 'em. They put 'em together for me in a new case. UPS website has 'em arriving on Friday, Oct 24.

I'm leaving work early on Friday to (hopefully) catch the UPS guy. If I fail, I get my computer on Monday.

If I succeed, I should be up and running this weekend.
