Rumba Rue Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 Well I'm back! The old computer decided to give itself a Viking Funeral, literally! It burned up (hey isn't that smoke coming from that thing?). So a new computer has been bought and I'm back here. I hope nothing else goes wrong. Geesh, I lost everything I had - boo-hoo! Now I have to learn this new computer stuff, much different. Oh arrgghhhhh, well one must always learn how to tie a better knot. So in any case my Lovelies, I'm here with a keg o' rum, so let's party!

Saskia Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Oh... how horrible and scarey. Our computer got blown up once by my mum... she flicked the switch at the back that changed the voltage intake ability while she was trying to turn it on Anyway glad to see you're back, and good luck figuring out all the new stuff you "is that smoke" comment reminds of a funny story (scarey at the time). I travelled across Australia in a bus at the end of last year with a group of other uni students. The bus was really dodgy and old, and while we were in the middle of nowhere, everyone started smelling this burning rubber smell, so we all started saying "is that smoke? is that smoke?" Then someone said "Hey there's smoke coming past the window on this side." and then someone else said "yeah and flames" and everyone went "oh crap" Turns out the front left hand tyre had deflated and the wheel had been scraping along the gravel (this also meant that the fire was right at the door to the bus - remember in Australia the steering wheel is on the right). Very alarming at the time, but quite funny to look back on.
