My Computer Is Dead

Been trying to tell my I/T guy that I've been having problems, but other things took priority. Well, I kept getting the "blue screen of death," and nothing would work. So, I turned off the CPU and tried to turn it on, but the on/off switch is now broken! When I get a computer back (borrowing a co-workers's as I type this, getting dirty looks), I'll let you know.

Jeff

Pull the front off. There's a 'button' inside there that the plastic button you normally press hits. You should be able to turn it on that way. But then again, you don't want to make the IT dude mad by tearing in to it.

I'm back- for now.

This thing is just SCARY. A window will pop up, I'll show it to the I/T guy (former programmer), and he'll say, "I've never seen that one before."

It's me. Computers hate me. And I hate them. They know it, and they turn on me. There is no other explanation. When does Happy Hour start at TGI Friday's?

Jeff-
Relax--it's just like fishing, you gotta hold your mouth right or you wont catch anything... (or maybe you have to hold your left elbow at a 90 degree angle, or possibly if you point your right pinky toe and curl the left one...oh- its something like that!) ...but if you do it right your computer will work fine... promise!!
