working with a friend's old PC

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tonight I went to Chako's place to try to help with her computer (actually, it's Jonathan's PC, but he's in Japan). A succession of friends had been by to 'look at it' over the years, leaving it in complete disarray. I mean, the motherboard was swaybacked. When the thing finally was able to overcome its hardware problems and boot, I learned that the O/S was pooched, too. Fighting with PC's is such a bore. I told her she should look at getting a new one, and fired off an email to Jon informing him that his PC was kaput.

All of this happened after I'd met with some of the folks from my days at (the now defunct) Star Data. It was interesting. One of our member was there despite the fact that his wife was at some clinic having just been alerted to the possibility that she has ovarian cancer.
