Computer problems

[Johnch]

I have been off line for a few days now because my modem quit

I have the darn computer at my freind the computer geek so he can fix it

But since he has 2 other jobs , it may be a few days

So I will be off line for the most part till mid next week at least

On newer pc's and with newer operating systems, modems are pretty easy to fix because when you get a new one and plug it in upon starting up the operating system will say "found new hardware setting up setup wizard to install" and it's a breeze to walk through it. I'd say total time to install the new one and get going again would be under 30 mins.

I hope I never ever have to use a modem again.
I have a true 45 megabit broadband.
I could easily host several websites but, don't even have a single 1 going .

Well betweem working 80+ hrs the last 2 weeks
And having a freind replace the modem
I have been having withdrawls

He had it working in just a few days , the Modem was $19.99 retail
He charged me $ 14 for a new modem and installation

But getting time to run over and pick up my computer was the real head acke

I named my 'puter,
The Silicone Brained Antithistical AntiChrist.
It has earned the name.

Me too, lost the hard drive and bought a SATA on overstock from Tiger. Found the plug is different so I ordered a card. Did not work and as I was fooling around I found my mother board has two SATA plugs. I built the computer with Tiger parts but have to have my daughter get some things working.
I plugged into the plug and everything works but it took a few days to feed in and download everything again. Now the thing is so fast I can't believe it.
I downloaded the free Advanced System Care and it cleans up more junk then you can imagine. It even defrags the register. Just installing everything I had 5227 fragged segments on the hard drive.
