rest in pieces, ASUS G73. computerless for now!
13 years ago
I say "computerless" because all I've got as a back up is a 4 year old Macbook Pro, and well.. you know.
My Asus finally gave up its struggle and I was able to put a flash drive in and save the majority of the shaders and models I made for second life before it was too late. Phil ordered me a new ultra spiff laptop that'll be here on monday, and then I'll have to figure out how to find the programs I've lost.
I actually made a legit purchase and bought 3D Coat, but it was one of those licenses that allow for only one install on one system. so I guess I'm fucked there. The only other big issue would be Photoshop CS5, as Sai I have a source for and blender is free.
WUWUWUWWUW hopefully this new machine wont melt or fail me :) When it comes to anything technical, I'm about as good with a computer as my 89 year old grandmother, so I asked or some help in picking a new laptop.

As nice as the G73s looked, this one is actually faster and has a good price. Much luck!

I see now that it's not a g73 that youre looking at. it's just an Asus. HOPEFULLY the issues I had were just with that model. Regebeast had the same laptop as I did and it had the same issues lol
All the problems I've had with it were ridiculous and there was never any sign that anything was wrong in the beginning. Then it just died.
Ended up ordering that new one linked above a few days ago and it came in the mail yesterday. A laptop that was half the price and has so much more power in a smaller package.
I didn't know Rege had one, too! I had another friend with the same laptop and all of the same problems. Guess the G73's were just the bad eggs of the ROGs. Sad since they cost so damned much.
oh hell yes! that'd be so awesome. add my skype or something c:

At least yer' getting a new one soon, though it's not fun having to find every *important* program/app/etc you had before.
I'll be on skype til I get a new computer you turd. hit me up :(
And okay, I will! (I'm sorreh! ; w ;)
