Hi all, this is Switch (just using the local library computer

) can't remember my password so I've had to log in as a guest (keep all my passwords on the computer, which is sorta dead ATM).

Well, just to let you all know I'll be gone for a while since my computer is totally dead for the moment... we've got some guys coming to pick it up and fix it but I have no idea how long they'll be... so that's why I haven't been on for the last couple days

one power cut and Windows was totally disabled... and now we can't seem to re-install it.

So anyway, I'll be gone for anything from 1-2 weeks, though I may be back sooner...

Sorry about this, cya later

Ahhh...unlucky Switch. Learn how to flash bios and my boot disks and its possible it may not happen again (unless its a hardware problem)

OH well...I look forward to your return.

Okay sir I'll look forward to you getting back when you can. In the mean time I'll role play Ford for you. If your email still works I can email you the other posts and you can email replies if you want. If not I promise not to kill him!

Unlucky Switch; i almost had a similar problem but managed to fix it before it did any serious damage. Hope you get everything fixed soon, since i'm not sure the forums would be the same without your... unique style of modding.

Bad luck again pal. See you back here soon

gee that sucks, i had the same problem not too far back, i normally turned off my laptop by holding the power button, switched off as it was saving crap, before i knew it, it wouldnt start up, so i lost all my school work and got a saturday detention for fixing my laptop, doesnt that make sence!

Yeah, i built my pc, so it won't shut off normally- I have to hold the power button down for 8 sec.

Hope you get your pc fixed...

Better yet, don't turn off the damned thing.

So... Looks like it's two down now... I've also had computer troubles, detailed in the "Profiles" thread...

I hope everyone recognizes their resopnsibility to fill in for Switch in the n00b threads. Oh, wait... Looks like you've been doing that for the last six months or so... I don't know if Switch should take it as a compliment or an insult that the entire forum has been prepared for his absence for about half a year...

I think it is time for Switch to let go of his post as head n00b greeter. Sorry to say it Switch, but I believe it is true.

But that doesn't mean we want you to leave, FIX YOUR COMP!

"Unique style"? Would that be doing absolutely nothing?

And don't worry about passwords - we got the computer working again temporarily and I was able to back them all up onto disk...

Anyways, just thought I'd drop in and say hi

the computer is still out of action, it's been sort of up and down. We finally got them to take it away about 4 days ago, hopefully we'll have it back and fully working within the next week (though no promises

)

Thanks Malchik, yes nothing is working, so I'll have to rely on that promise

As for giving up being head n00b greeter - you know that'll never happen

I may not get in first anymore but I still make it policy to spa-...um... answer every thread

of course I don't think I'll bother with the ones from 1-2 weeks ago, that would be too much like necromancy

Anywho, hope to be back in action soon, but expect not to see me for another week...

Right, I'm back in business after 5 weeks of internetlessness

computer seems to be working fine now after 2 reformats and hours of fiddling about. All this caused by just one 2 second powercut! I am so getting a UPS, ASAP.

It's great to be back
