My laptop is close to being 'fried'

Off Topic
  • Those were the terms used by our computer tech. :( Some stuff is not running, the hard drive is looking shaky, and the laptop is hitting a temp of 157 degrees. Darn, I hate getting new techie stuff - nothing is in the same place, etc.

    So, I may be away for a bit. I have to organize my files to make the data transfer as easy as possible. I have some new Kipawa pics to post, but that will have to wait.

    So, to all, see you soon! Will miss you - you are a great bunch of people!

  • Fran,
    i don't know if yours has the same problem as mine but for a few weeks mine has been closing down by itself and overheating. It usualy started again after a rest but eventualy it switched itself and refused to start. We took it to the pc clinic and all it needed was a good clean out, it was full of dust. Fortunately it seems fine now. I was so lost without it.

  • Fran, it could be nothing more than a cleaning and new fan… get a 2nd opinion.

  • Fran..know that we are waiting for your return…hope your computer issues gets solved easily and inexpensively...see you soon. :)

    Something similar was at a big dog show in my area a few years ago. The one I ran my dog through had an A-frame and tunnels as well as the jumps and tire. It was a blast!

    I enjoyed the video, whilst in Kefalonia snorkelling i saw several Octopi , i think they're fascinating creatures. The ones i saw stayed very still, don't think i'd of been so keen if one had shot towards me.

    @AJs: It's been a very long time since I read The Wizard of Oz. Is Wichita where the story starts? I googled "Dorothy's House Wichita" and nothing came up except ways to get to Liberal. That's where the house is that is advertised all over Kansas as THE Dorothy's House. From what I understand (and I have been wrong before…it could happen again) the house in Liberal is where they did some of the filming. But I love the Witch-ita reference...:D I think Dorthy's house was just considered to be a farm house "out in the middle of nowhere".

    Congrats on your engagement! I know Courtney Thorne-Smith had her B and her other dog in the wedding. I think B's look great in tuxedos;-)

    It is so true - everyone asks why we have 3 dogs. When I got Hemi, people thought he was too big. Then we got Cyrus (the B), and he was too bad. When we adopted Oscar from an animal shelter, we had too many. We get so much love and companionship from our dogs. I enjoy them more than most people I know. I wouldn't trade any of them! I would actually like to get another. Shhhhh! Jenn
