Right, so I called Dell on Wednesday and my computer overheated and turned itself off halfway through the diagnostic the tech guy had me doing. "Some components" would need to be replace and he told me a service person would call me in a couple days to set up a time for a service visit (one good thing about Dell is they do come to me to fix my computer - I don't have to pack it up and ship it out). This morning I got an automated message saying that my "component" was on back order. Whenever it arrives, I'll get a call to set up the service visit.

Honestly, I think I'm about ready to break up with Dell. I won't be replacing this computer anytime in the near future because I have no money in the budget for such an expense, but when the time does come, I will definitely be going elsewhere. I suppose I should start saving up now, and try to pull together enough money to get a Mac when the time comes.

Meanwhile, I live on my computer. Between my cell phone being dead, my computer being dead, and not having an outlet recharger for my ipod, I'm feeling very, very cut off from all the things that make me most happy and sane. I know I managed to live for years and years without any of these gadgets, but I have a hard time remembering how (and I'm pretty sure I was much more of a depressed person at that time, in all honesty).

hang in there...do macs have less trouble dealing with cat hair?

Probably not, but they seem to have less trouble with viruses and all that stuff that clogs up the system and slows run time down.

So sorry to hear about all your tech problems. I know I lived for years without using computers, but I really can't imagine it now. I hope that back-ordered part comes in PDQ!

I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that I get a call from the service department tomorrow after work.

I feel as if I'm on the moon if I've no computer.It makes me very miserable. I hope you soon get yours fixed and am glad your laptop is working.

I don't know what I'd be doing right now if I didn't have my emergency backup laptop. It may be slow but it's still plugging along.

It's good to see you on lj again. I hope that all computer/phone woes are resolved soon - because you really do live on your computer and that's a big part of how we manage to kind of share each other's lives.
