It's Really Amazing How Hooked I Am

broke | computers | dependant | withdrawls

Well, it's been three weeks since my computer shot craps on me.
It went down once for three weeks until I could get my brother in law to fix it, and then the following week, it went down again, and this time it was serious.
Not just a power supply this time, nope, it was the entire board--dead.
So I call my bro in law- again, and he gets me a board, and a nice new updated one, and go figure he couldn't hook it up to the hardrive I had, as well as some other things that he had to hook up too, so he said I would need to get a new hardrive, but that I really should get an updated one anyway.
Now I am waiting to get the hardrive this week and then he will be out to get me completely hooked up. Lots more memory and just better all around.
I tell ya, you never know how dependant you become with a computer. I don't really need tv, or the radio, or even a newspaper when I have the computer.
I miss being able to get on here and my myspace page just any old time I want to. I have been coming to the library, which is just a few blocks from my house, to jump on a computer and check in with things.
I have gone back to books alot more now that I dont have the use of my computer. I am currently finishing up with Sharon Osbournes, "Extreme", and then I am going to read Nikki Sixx's "Heroin Diaries". I am a big biography hound, especially in music.
By then, my computer should be back up and running and I will be back to business.
Until then, I am reading everyone here, even if I dont comment, I am reading.

What's worse, Ammorton

is that once you get your computer up & running again, you'll find yourself with "less time" to read! It happens to me everytime I don't have internet access. And, then I'll get it again and feel like I'm ignoring everyone around me! Ah, to have that perfect balance! LOL

I am afraid of that to Spooky

I know how much I was on my computer when it was running, and I didn't really read much(I did all that on the computer). It also helps to have books that I have always wanted to read.
I just finished the Sharon Osbourne book, and I forgot that I have Valerie Bertoneli's new biography as well. Then I will be reading the Heroin Diaries. Books like that I love to read and will probably make the time to read them.

Yes Sire--you are so right

We hope to have it back to normal this weekend. In the meantime, the library has become my friend.

That's just a shame, Ammorton,...

means I'll have to send you my story again. :-) You need a backup laptop, one of those $300 cheap knockoffs that almost everyone is selling these days.

Actually Catfish, I think that

I am going to be able access my stuff from my old hardrive. My brother in law said he could get all my stuff for me, or I could get into the files 'manually'? What ever that means. I will let you know if I need you to send it to me.
My hubby said the same thing about getting a cheap laptop. We may just do that.
I am still learning about all this. Hopefully we have it this weekend.

I'll admit, Ammorton,...

I'd be going crazy without my computers, that's for sure. Good luck.
