If I started a "Computer questions from stupid fucking idiots and geek wannabees"  thread, would you support it?

(I have a couple of BIOS issues to resolve, trying to revive an old box, but I am semi-confounded. I know it is something simple and in clear view, but I am blind to it. More experience is needed. The old buddy if mine who I have counted on for years has had a severe heart attack and may die, soon. I found out when I tried to call him, last night. He has not been conscious in over three days, now. A story for another time, though.)

Rememmber,we are mostly verry dangerous and adrift in space with our questions.

Yes I would. Go ahead and start it. I'm sure others will chime in, too.

bummer. thats too bad, DD.

bummer. thats too bad, DD.

Yeah.
I wonder what will become of his printing business. I was able to get a bit of work through him, when he was bogged down with big jobs and he needed some simple graphics done. I will miss that and his friendship.

His two kids ( one,late twenties and one, early thirties) do not care for his business. I assume it dies with him. He made over one hundred thousand per year as post-tax profit and they don't care to pursue it. I also did some of his menial computer work. He hated dealing with hardware, but I seemed to manage it somewhat better than he did. I put together seven "modern" computers for him over the years.

I will miss him. He has been a good friend. I also wonder what will happen to his dog. His dog, a miniature Doberman and my dog, Snuggles, an overgrown fox terrier, were pals. I would love to give "Hercules" (Herky) a home.

He was two years older than I am, but looked about twenty or more older.

Sorry to hear it, DD.

[DirtDawg]

Yeah.

Sorry to bring my gloom into your thread.

[odeon]

Don't worry about it. Life sucks, mainly.

Ok serious question, what was your favorite subject in school?

I want the one that stings the most.

Math and physics.

[ALLDAYGLOWRANDY]

You gonna spank yourself?  Post pics

[odeon]

Who said I would spank myself?

[ALLDAYGLOWRANDY]

Of course I met with sensors, but you didn't get that for obvious reasons.

Math was one my strong points, and my mom is was bragging about me being able to do physics.  I saw my sister's college chemisty book, it is not that much different than my high school class, just as easy.
