I was reading some email from my readers and everything went black. As black as the ink on this page. Man!! Bummer!! So I called my computer guy. He is really good and has saved this computer a couple of times. He took it back to his repair place and discovered the mother board is shot. Blown. Destroyed.
So I got on the computer today and got ahold of a Dell rep. After a short chat, they said there was nothing they could do. Sorry. Less than two years old and I have to throw it away or spend over $300 for a new mother board! No, they could not sell me one at a discount. I was on my own.
What kind of computer will I buy next, you ask? FOR SURE NOT A DELL! After looking around on the internet and reading some comments from Dell owners, it is common for a Dell to puke in about a year and a half. 18 months of computer activity for $800. Sounds a bit out of line for me.
So, if you are thinking about buying a Dell computer, please think again. This was supposed to be a good business computer (Vostro 1500) and lasted 22 months.
Ok, here are some pics for you to see so this post isn't a total waste!!
The last two, of course, are of my 64 1/2 Mustang. The one of the grill was taken last week in my garage. See, it seems that my good friends at American Muscle had a new calendar and they wanted to give some away. Well, to get one, you had to take a pic of one of their items on your car from American Muscle. Since they normally only carry parts for 1979 and newer, I thought my accessory of a new license plate from them might just get me a calendar. It did. I do feel bad that I had to list my car as a 79 in order to qualify. Forgive me guys! I just had to have that new Mustang calendar!!Mustang Mike and Mike's Show-N-Shine love to receive comments.
