So this time it's a complete and total user error. I was trying to download OC1, got some spyware instead and tried to delete it. Shut down the comp to go to work, come back and it's refusing to boot up.

Call my local tech support guy, he can't make it over, said to call him when i get out of work sat (today) and he'll take a look.

Call my second tech support guy, we do a system restore it seems to work for a while, then i get messages about spyware and IE needing a 'critical update'. I don't use IE, i ask techy guy about it he's like "OH SHIT ON A CRACKER YOU FUCKED IT UP".

So i shut it down last night, it's not booting up past the "Windows Recovery" screen and so I'm still going to call the local guy tonight, see if he can salvage the software. If he can't, second tech support guy will see what he can do. Worst case, i'll have to call Gateway and get a recovery disc.

This is the 3rd computer to die in my hands since I moved into this new apartment.


What the fuck did I do to piss off the machine gods so badly?

Does anyone know an exorcism in binary?










No, seriously, I'm about THIS [__] close to sacrificing a couple dozen squirrels. Gods know there's enough of them here in Westfield.
