introducing... crapbox
Remember when I said I'd tell you about my computer eating my yummy data? Here you have it:
On Monday, my computer started making charming sounds, sort of like somebody holding a thin stick into a moving bicycle wheel ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. Hmpf, I thought and tried to shut it down. It refused, so I turned it off manually to show that machine who's boss. As it turns out, boss wasn't me... and when I turned it back on, it had reset itself to some sort of sorry excuse of its factory settings.
Today, I had the honor of reformatting it. My favorite part of that process (ha!) is where you get to assign the computer a name. My PC has been Nemo and Frodo (because we're nerds, that's why).
The name it got today is Crapbox. That'll show him!

Oh yeah; been there, done that!
We've never named our computers. We didn't want to get too attached. ;)

Acrually, our computer does have a name even if tshsmom (my wife)doesn't know that. I named it Alien, mostly because it's an Alienware pc (custom) with a friendly name of 'The Beast'..my wife says it looks like the front of a Buick but it's a hell of machine!
