Computer woes!
I'm currently between computers. My best-friend Mike lent me his laptop until my laptop came back from being repaired. It had a blow-out...so to speak; a fried video card fried the mother-board. It had to be sent all the way to Japan for repairs. It took for ever it seemed.......but the length of time my laptop was gone was a bigger problem than just me missing my computer. It was wiped clean of any info; I lost ALL sims (but I'll go into that in another blog), I lost a BUNCH of pictures of my kids (I only have visitation with them......so that one REALLY HURT). The trip was obviously VERY ROUGH on my poor laptop because when Mike & Karen went to pick it up for me........they noticed that the plastic of one of the hinges was horribly damaged! It was supposed to go to San Jose for re-casing.......but the jerks at Fry's electronics had my laptop sitting on a shelf for almost a week before ACTUALLY being sent off to San Jose for said repairs from the repairs.......well technically the trip to and from. That by the way just seems asinine to sell computers in the US but then refuse to service them there..........not that I've got anything against any other country.......but gosh darn it if your country is going to sell products on a mass scale like FUJITSU then...........duh have some people in what ever country you're selling butt loads of them. Seems cheaper to pay some people to fix in the US then the shipping of getting the equipment back to Japan. Oh + I didn't exactly get a passport, round trip ticket to Japan when I bought it...........Mike drove me; I bought the laptop in the same country, state, and county that I live. Yup I'm irritated!
