My Computer DIED.

Okay, I'm typing this on my mom's computer because something happened to my Toshiba laptop that has rendered it completely unuseable.

Which...really irritates me to be honest. (Okay, it downright pisses me off because my dad's all "Well, nothing important is on it" and "Go read a book". Geez.)

Turns out something in the hardware needs to be repaired because when the computer turns on, the USB drives don't work, the synapse pointing device doesn't work (rendering the computer completely unable to use a mouse since the mouse needs the USB port and the synapse pointing device is the little thing that you use to move the cursor around with your fingers), and on top of that, once it loads up, the screen turns completely blue. Not a blue screen of death with actual text. Just...blue.

Either way, I'm really mad because I had artwork I was going to post up and now it's going to have to wait until I get my computer fixed.

I'm just praying that they don't have to WIPE it, because four years of my data are on that thing including unfinished stories, 4 years of pictures I've taken, and really important files that I've kept on my computer for safe-keeping, and the last thing I need is to start over from scratch.
(Plus, if I do start over from scratch, reinstalling everything including WoW would take about six hours...)


So yeah. Don't expect anything from me for a while now.

In addition to my computer breaking, I'll be gone on a trip to Arizona from the 13th to the 17th.

When I do get back and my computer does get healed, expect a lot of stuff to get uploaded all at once to make up for lost time.

You have WotLK? I think that disc has all the data up tooo... patch 3.0? Unless that's what you meant!
And yeah. Losing a laptop/computer sucks.

I hope it gets sorted!

Dr. Cox: It would be impossible for me to lie next to Jordan. She sleeps hanging from a ramp in the ceiling, wrapped in a cocoon of her own wings.
:iconsony-shock:
It happened to me recently too. It IS irritating... Silly your dad.. -_-

Anyway, do not worry, we'll look forward for your artwork, Turq, let's hope you fix it soon =3

Do not worry, sure they don't have to wipe it, that is mostly when it has a virus only ^^

Most epic Sony and Alicia conversation ever:

Sony-Shock: 'Awwwww, I can't find that big grey glove!' I have the shades and the black glove...'
Alicia: 'Don't you find your Slash interior?'
:iconvorenthereaper:

Go visit Bulbapedia, the #1 Pokémon wiki!
:icondemon-sheep-studio:
That sounds like the same thing that happened to my laptop. According to the guy that fixed mine he said that a virus scanning programe wasn't working properly. Why did it fail to work? Not known.

And poo to your dad, of course there was important stuff on there. There's always important stuff on everyone's personal computer. I hope you can save your stuff.

Help a victim of the recession (aka jobless loser) by buying a commission. Prices range from £1 so go to *Mags-The-Confused for more details!
:iconturquoisephoenix:
No, I have the original. Which means I have to install all the patches. (I've been holding back on buying more installments on account I really have no spare money.)
