Wow technology sure goes obsolete quickly...

I just bought a new computer on Wednesday (nice system too: quad core, 5 gigs of RAM, nVidia 9000 series card, etc) and this morning it didn't want to work. I think the power supply may be faulty. The computer wouldn't power on when I set it up on Thursday, but then did when I swapped power cords between the new and old machines and figured ok, bum cord, but this morning it was dead to the world and no amount of cord swapping or trying different outlets would work. And it's not the power strip either, since everything else plugged into it is working fine *knocks wood* Meh. Gonna take it back to the store later today and see if they can fix it there. *sighs* Ah well at least this machine still works *glares at it to make sure it will continue to work*

Going to go see the new batman movie too, so there's some fun...and if things go well computer-wise I might be able to salvage some online roleplay later tonight.


And, as always, dragons to click, view or ignore:

addendum to earlier post:

Yeah it was the power supply. The store will exchange the machine for me, but I won't get it until tomorrow. They were sold out but another location about an hour away had one so tomorrow, hopefully, I gets my shiny computer goodness. I just hope they wipe the one I returned, I had some stuff on there, nothing vital, but it was personal.


Oh and Dark Knight was good. Really good.

(no subject)

Oh, remembered one thing. One of the commercials before the movie was for JC Penney's, I guess for their back to school sales. It was themed after The Breakfast Club and suddenly I felt really old as it occurred to me that the kids in said commercial's target age range probably never even heard of the movie.
