Worse Than I Could Have Imagined
I am still in shock. Yesterday I was given the news that my computer is not just temporarily down, it’s- down. Dead. Need a new one.
The BIOS/CMOS damage is done in a bad, unstoppable cycle. Can’t fix the BIOX because the CMOS is damaged, and can’t fix the CMOS because the BIOS is broke. Anyway, no way to flash a new BIOS in. It the BIOS/CMOS is busted. Broke.
And they don’t make the 939 pin motherboards anymore. Yay. Which also means I need a new cpu, since it’s a 939 pin cpu. And the RAM dimms i have were basically made for a 939 pin motherboard.
So, because I need new mobo, new cpu, new RAM, I am looking at an expenditure of at LEAST $400. And Rudy told me, with actual sadness, “Babe, I love you, but we can’t afford $400.”
So right now I have the broken comp with 2 SATA drives I can’t use but are both packed with 223 gigs of WONDERFUL software, and this approx 6 yr. old compaq all-in-one, 512 megs ram and 64 untouchable in system video ram.
I am in- shock still. And terrible depression.
p.s. rudy has been so sick he hasn’t been able to pursue refinancing, and we HAVE to have the house refinanced by the end of the month, but he won’t let me help on it. we are possible fucked in so many ways i just don’t know what to do.

i have a nearly new comp that i would be more than willing to deal with you on the payment arangements and price. it’s just sitting here, collecting dust, and have no need for it. and it would be possible to install your old HDD’s in this one so your life’s work isn’t wasted. let me know what you think.
