My Cube Died!!!

[tgpo]

Actually the power supply on it died. We think the computer is still okay, but we're not sure if the computer still works or not, the MB could have been fried.

So perhaps I'll be getting a new computer soon and finally get some speed at home to work with.

[galactica]

WOW! sorry to hear this....

just out of the blue? or was something going on (lightning storm, power surge?)

just wondering...

so what you thinking of getting?!?!?!?!?!?

[tgpo]

WHen I got home my brother told me that the power had gone up an down about 5 times that day. We think that's what fried it.

I think I'll buy a new power supply and sell the ole' cube. Then I'll get a G5 or something.

[galactica]

depends on the speed of yours and what it has... but ive seen cubes go for 7-800 on ebay.
that ought to help ya with your g5 purchase

Mine is the 450mhz with the DVD Drive. I'll be very sad to give it up, because of the 12x DVD Drive can rip an entire DVD in 15min. But yeah, money from it's sell will aid me in a new computer, and a ring

But yeah, money from it's sell will aid me in [...] a ring

Oh, so you're the type of guy who wears rings, eh? Sheesh, can you say vain? Just kidding... Congratulations, if it's for what I think it is!!!

[galactica]

I too know what its for

[tgpo]

Love the last icon there galactica.

Yeah, it'll probably be soon that Evonne gets the ring.

And you call yourself a geek . . . *shakes head* We'll miss ya, buddy!

[tgpo]

Oh no. I'm here to stay. She knows I'm here all the time and has accepted it

P.S. When did I ever call myself a geek? :P Remember we're mac users, we're not geeks, we're artists

[WiseWeasel]

Pfffff, right, just keep telling yourself that. Lemme check the directory . . . yep, message board admin definitely puts you in the upper echelons of geekdom. Macs actually bring out the geek in people, by enticing them to do more things with their computers, by setting the barrier for entry so low with their iLife programs. Problem is, once you start working on all these different things like photos, movies and DVDs, you want to try more advanced features, at which point you're on a slippery slope towards geekiness. On a Mac, a relatively curious individual might become a full-fledged geek in a couple years. On a Windows machine, however, only the most enthusiastic learners will ever progress beyond 'clueless noob' status, since the barrier to entry for so many things is so high.

[tgpo]

...okay I admit it. I'm a geek and I'm proud of it.
