Alright...since I havent been on for a while and that like NEVER happens...I guess I owe you guys an explaination!!!!! Well The STUPID charter cable guy was working on my cable right? Well to do this..he had to unhook my usb cord and replace it...which I wasnt complaining..but he was also looking at the computer itself...AND HE PUT THE OPEN COMPUTER ON THE CARPETED FLOOR!!!!!!!!! I mean anyone who knows anything about computers knows good and well you DONT put an open computer on a carpeted floor..cause the least bit of static electricity fries things. Well sure enough..I KNEW it was gonna happen...guess what happened?? Yeah, the motherboard fried...Its gone forever and those are expensive since they run the whole damn computer. Oh well....So I wont be on for a while till I can a. find another computer (which for the price of a motherboard...you might as well buy a new comp) or b find a reduced price motherboard which I doubt is going to happen. So yeah...Any one of you people that know my cell or home number are welcome to call me or anything...but as far as my PO...*sniffle* I wont be on much at all...MAYBE once a week if Im lucky. I will miss all you guys...^_^ but I'll be back before you know it!!!

Charter dude's fault. That's his to pay, not you.

And it's amazing to have a computer guy actually static-shock a computer like that. You'd think he'd be more well-versed in how a computer works...

Agreed. Company rep roasted comp, company pays for comp.

The first thing he should have realized was the necessity of grounding and/or removing power if there was the chance of static.

I called Angel from work cause I was bored to tears...She said Charter isn't going to pay for it because she wasn't in the room when it happened or something.

That and she left him alone and he's just a cable installer that runs Lan lines...So he's not computer savvy apparently.

He's got a point. Static discharge needs to be pretty high to fry a mother-board.

The guy prolly stepped on it.
