The Frying Pan & the Fire

Melody on October 26th, 2005

This is my life…

First my ISP guy says it’s a *&^$*& hardware problem: Change your lan card, says he.

So me does. (yeah, yeah, I’m well trained, send in your CVs prospective hubbys)

Then the hardware dude changes the lan card.

Still not happening.

What now???

You may have a virus, says the second he (I’m surrounded by brilliant dudes)

So dude takes my CPU & reformats, changes anti-virus thingies etc etc etc.

Brings it back.

Yeah, you guessed it.

Apparently, says he, it must be the < <<<<< CABLE >>>>>>>

WELLL OKKKKKK THENNN

So now I’ve got to call the ISP guys in again.

The saga continues…

(Don’t beat me up for not makin too many entries in the meanwhile)

    Wow! U sure are a freak among women! Ok now before you brand me “Sexist” - I was just joking!

    It happened to me too…first my HDD had gone…then said it was my motherboard …and then finally it was the RAM…and finally when they got it “repaired” my PC runs like a tortoise on crutches.

    *Sigh*

    Alex, firstly, have no clue what the “tracert/ping return back” thingie means. Remember, I’m not even a terminal junkie.

    Secondly, thanks for the freak thing. :D Agree with you completely.

    Finally, good on you for doing the random thingie too. Next time will tag ya ;)
