Enhanced Terror Alert


<< # St. Blog's Parish ? >>

:: Monday, May 19, 2003 ::

While I was clearing out of my dorm room yesterday my computer had a mishap. It fell sideways off my desk, three feet down, and onto the floor. The side and front of the plastic casing is damaged, and we're hoping that it absorbed all the energy of the fall. My front two USB ports were also damaged, apparently as the front casing came off. I have two more (all four were USB 1.1) but they're in the back, less accessible for such things like plugging in digital cameras. Today's project will be assessing the damage to the computer. I can only hope that it boots and that the hard drive is still intact.
