My computer keeps crashing

[CaptainWacky]

Crash Holly wouldn't be very JOLLY if he was still alive.

 

[Cranky Bastard]

I have collision insurance on my comp.

 

[The Harlot]

do not

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I have many rubber parts.

 

[The Harlot]

lol

 

[Cranky Bastard]

I refuse to use rubber parts...

 

[CaptainWacky]

MaybeI should fucking smash it up with a fucking hammer, that would help.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

My external backup drive for my Mac is totally fucked, it won't mount anymore.

If I can't get that data back, I and my roommate are screwed big time.

 

[Cranky Bastard]

I've kicked mine before - and it helped!

 

[Mentalist]

Freeze it in a zip-lock bag.


No, seriously.

 

[CaptainWacky]

What would that do?

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I actually did that overnight, it didn't help.

The computer recognizes that a drive is connected to the FireWire port, and even describes it in System Prefs, but it can't find a volume to mount. I'm thinking something heavy fell on it and it's mechanically busted. But it's not making any louder noises than usual.

(AcomData 160GB box, BTW. No partitions.)

 

[CaptainWacky]

It just crashed again.

Mine does that all the time. I need to reformat but I'm too lazy.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I need a new computer but I'm too poor.

QFT. I need 2 new computers and a new fax/scanner/printer, and I can't afford any of it at the moment.

 

[Cranky Bastard]

"QFT"?

 

[Cranky Bastard]

I'm so un-hip.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Cute smiley! Looks kinda like Charlie Brown.
