Well, do stop around when you can, Skarpi. But, if you'd like, I'll play "Taps" tonight on my trumpet for you departed computer.

May it rest in peace and raise soon to the heaven of bits and bytes ...

Are you sure it can't be saved?

Have you tried a processor transplantation?
Or a power transfusion?
Or mouth to ventilator resuscitation?
Or hard disk massage?

I hope it won't take too long till a new computer can be shipped to Iceland ...

Pour Brennevin on it, if that doesn't wake it up it'll be just right for ignition.

If you can get it fixed under guarantee, good, but I wonder if paying for a repair is worth it on a computer over two years old.

I have been having serious problems with web access for months, sometimes it would and sometimes it wouldn't, I changed virus killers and downloaded trojan killers, formatted twice, etc, changed wall phone sockets, and in the end I upgraded with a new motherboard and chip and some other bits. No change, and I was thinking it was one of those hard-drive viruses(Virii?) that can't be removed, so maybe I need a new one to replace this nearly new one.....
My neighbour was having trouble too, but he didn't tell me because I don't speak Cantonese, and he had a new cable put in from the street. I asked the sparky to look at my connection, and, problem solved. The phone Co swore there was no problem, the liars.

The guts of this rambling is, what I paid for my components was 3/4 of the price of a new computer from the same supplier, and the new one has WinXP and an LC screen. And XP alone is half the price of the components I bought, and the screen is nearly as much.

The next time, I'm going to fill it with concrete and sell it for a mooring.

Mind you, to switch to XP would mean that my software wouldn't work.
