plea for computer advice & info on computer fixit places
The laptop makes funny noises. I think its a mechanical problem.
Does anybody have suggestions as to a reputable computer-fix place in the Boston metro area? Do any of you, dear readers, work at such a place?
I NEED MY FUCKING COMPUTER FOR MY BUSINESS AND FOR SCHOOL.
Uh, does anyone know anything about computers? Could we, like, talk on the phone later about it? I will totally make out with you. I will also make you V-Day themed sugar cookies.
I have a T23 IBM Thinkpad. The green on light thingie comes on when i plug it in. Then the computer makes weird whirring noises. Then the computer's screen gets slightly less black (which uh tells me the power is going into the computer), but then NOTHING HAPPENS. Except for the whirring noise. That thing keeps going like a fluffer working overtime on a tucker-ed out porn star whose Viagra prescription ran out months ago.
Uh, there is this symbol thingie that lights up in green. It looks like a circle with a "Z" inside. Or perhaps that is supposed to be a lightening bolt? Anyway, it lights up.
None of my tech-ish friends (all 2 of them) are answering their fucking phones. There is nothing to eat in my cabinets, and I have too much stuff to accomplish for me to leave and go buy groceries. Perhaps I'll sautee a cat. Also, I just farted. Fart smells just further damper any situation.

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's super-geek!
Seriously, my first guess is the hard drive is bad.
Want to meet up sometime? My rates today are very reasonable (For example, if we meet at Diesel, two drinks at Diesel per hour)

I'll be around tonight in Davis Sq. Email me via the address in my profile and I can meet you somewhere to look at it.
Re: It's a bird! It's a plane! It's super-geek!
Till then, let us plan to meet in Davis Sq. I'll be the white 20 something girl with liberal politics.

Sooo, do your rates come in the form of 2 drinks per hour? If so, I'll also make you tasty cookies (though I doubt I could pull off that culinary feat before this afternoon (after all, a girl's gotta freak out about going $20 thousand into debt this year for grad school, and facing the possibility of going even further into debt for a new fucking computer)).
You shan't be bored in my company. I'll buy you drinks and . . . uh . . . be funny or something.

I'll even prove it to you at Disel. For serious.

Perhaps you'd like to tone down the language? Or put it behind a cut tag, or both?
