My computer just blew

The Evesham engineer came today and fixed the computer and I am using it now. It was the power supply and he replaced it and nothing else was affected thank goodness.

Wondeful news Angie. Sorry I wasn't around to help, but Platypus may be down under but his head is screwed on the right way up

Evesham have always been a good UK make and used to do ALOT of educational contracts, but those are few and far between now. apparently they just released a DVR I might take a look at that.

Thanks for your messages Platypus and Noo Noo.

Platypus, I am lucky enough to have five computers

so I was able to carry on but this is my best one and the only one running XP Pro and will be the computer I use for Vista if I decide to buy it. The one I have been using while this one was broken is another Evesham running XP Home, same case and m/bd but smaller video card and on board audio and it was my late husband's computer. I have my old PC World computer with XP Home on, an even older HP Pavilion which I upgraded and has ME and XP Home and has been used to run Server 2000 on a multiboot basis and I also have my late husband's old computer with ME on.

Noo you are right about Platypus, his head is the right way up

Reminds me of a true story about a radio ham I used to do fast morse code with, he was never a gardener and one day he asked me how he could tell which was the right way up to plant a tulip bulb and after I had told him he said that if he did it wrong the tulips would come up in VK land

- VK is a callsign prefix used by Australian radio hams.
