Oldies: January 10, 2001...

If there is any one thing in the world that ticks me off more than most, it's when a computer craps out. I've got an old Mac desktop at work. Supposedly, it's an old PowerPC (86 series) that's been upgraded to a G3. However, it does not act like any G3 I've ever worked on before. This thing is only a 166 MHz processor and it doesn't take too well to many of the programs that we need here at work. Well, lately, its capability to operate properly has been going downhill... fast. Today, it got so bad that it wouldn't even load a ZIP disk when I put one in the drive. This is not a good thing. I've run all kinds of disk scans, rebuilt the desktop repeatedly, and even tried to run speed disk on it to optimize the hard drive. No go. I think the only option left is ritualistic, computer sacrifice. But, instead, we're gonna call in an outside "expert". We'll see how that goes. If not, I can get a gun.
