ChrisF = Super Genius
« on: September 29, 2005, 02:46:12 pm »
Fitzy translated my nonsensical rantings about my busted computer and basically blindly translated them into a correct diagnosis.

After replacing my old functioning power supply with a new power supply and still not having a functioning computer I had a vision:

Chris standing in front of me last night @ Richters saying "I\'m not sure, but I bet your power button is busted".

Bingo.  A very poorly designed button connection bent and disconnected when I opend the shell.  A little work with the needle nose pliers and BANG!  Power!!  Nothing lost!!  So many headaches avoided.

Fitzy you will be receiving many free drinks on Friday!!

Willy: What the hell you need ball bearings for?
Fletch: Awww, come on guys, it\'s so simple. Maybe you need a refresher course.
[leans arm on hot engine part]
Fletch: Hey! It\'s all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And I\'m gonna need \'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

Dr. Joseph Dolan: That\'s my club too. I don\'t remember seeing you there.
Fletch: Well, I haven\'t been playing in a while because of these kidney pains.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Right. Now, how long have you had these pains, Mr. Barber?
Fletch: No, that\'s "Babar".
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Two B\'s?
Fletch: One B. B-A-B-A-R.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: That\'s two.
Fletch: Yeah, but not right next to each other. I thought that\'s what you meant.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Arnold Babar. Isn\'t there a children\'s book about an elephant named Babar?
Fletch: I don\'t know. I don\'t have any.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: No children?
Fletch: No elephant books.

sure they did, however they were only talking about seperating me from $30 not solving my power problems.  Just another victim the mass export of customer service jobs to India.  Sure globalization is saving ecomonies around the world, but can these people get some fucking English speaking and listening lessons please!!
