Today one of my classmate called me and said that she needed to format a laptop, Its a long time since i’ve formatted a laptop.I felt bored after the long pongal holidays, so i agreed. As usual i started the laptop checking for the configuration, Damn too slow processor and other things were too much less specs. I had got only my Windows xp for the installation, so made up my mind to format and install, how dumb would i look. The UE ran well and the installation went fine but it took too long in this Acer travelmate 201T but it took so long that i manged to switched off the laptop as the tiredness swallowed me. Tomorrow is the day where i have to do the same thing., Damn!

Edit: Later then i formatted and installed windows 2000 and then i had to download the drivers for the laptop from the internet to install them,.

1. As my friends need my DVD writer.
2. I Test several drives that makes me lazy to screw the cabinet door back.
3. I’m afraid whether my computer might get heated up inspite of and SERVER fan fixed to it.
4. I feel that my computer is under my control if its open.
5. I’m able to fix another hard disks to it whenever i need it.
6. I Keep disc’s inside of the new data that i downloaded away from my sister, or else she’ll take it and never return.
7. I sometimes even keep my screw driver if i think i will definitely forget it afterwards.

All these have led to discoveries of old eaten biscuits, chips, chocolates and other eatables inside my cabinet after they have all gone.., First i was wondering how it managed to find the cabinet, but then i realized that it nicely slipped down from my keyboard tray. I decided to close my cabinet once and for all, then i really did it. Zap, now my CPU looks different, i felt a bit happy as I’m seeing my CPU closed after some three or four years. I started the UPS, then pressed my power button and i see that my computer won’t start! Damn! I opened it and saw then checked it for any loose connections and finally fixed it back again, restarted my comp. It started running., happy me. Then i restart to check for any malfunction, now it stops and never boots again ! I’m now totally pissed ! Then i managed to work wit my PC open forever ! My PC needs to get fresh air as i do which makes it stubborn not to get switched on after it’s cabinet is closed.

See the pic here.,
