Day 228 of 365
So I spent most of tonight trying to get my desktop working again. When I tried to uninstall a program that was expired it caused a crash. Since then, every time Windows does an auto update it crashes and I have to go back to the last working configuration. I can't seem to get past that. Tonight I just wiped it. The problem I have now is that I can't locate the backup disks that came with the computer and Gateway hasn't been real helpful because the computer's warranty has expired.
I've gotten it back up with an older copy of Windows, but that disk isn't passing Window's verification. I may have a solution for that, but to tell you the truth I've had it with the thing tonight. At least I got the internet working for it so I've been able to download a lot of the drivers I needed. I'll play with it some more tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to get it working to my satisfaction.
The thing is four years old now, so I'm thinking that it may be time to buy a new one.
Thank god I still have the laptop!

This chap lives under the computer, he has a nice soft tummy to polish the screen.
The Our Daily Challenge group has chosen Critter as today's topic.
Free 486 base unit for anyone who can collect from London SE13, UK.
50 throbbing megahertz of raw computing power can be yours.
Generic 486 PC base unit, needs new 3.6v CMOS battery. Stuck a tiny 100MB hard drive in it just to prove it starts up. Has keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, Soundblaster soundcard, 3com ethernet card, CD-ROM drive (will not boot from CD ROM though).
Seems to work but no proper OS installed, and without that CMOS battery you'll be typing numbers into the CMOS each time to get it to see the hard drive.
Sorry, monitor not included!
Would suit mad masochist trying to get some obscure Linux distro running on the lowest spec machine in the universe.

A quick edit that I have produced using a real photo of the NNRG's preserved Leyland National 2: 4710 - FTN710W and a computer generated edit of their 4861 - UPT681V. 4710 is in NBC Northern red, with 4681 in a post-deregulation Northern red/white livery.
4681 is currently under restoration in the ownership of the NNRG.

Plenty of space for moving between the rows of computers which is nice for having people work together or being able to help people out.
My old computer chair broke a wheel a couple of weeks ago and I finally got around to buying a new chair online through www.DealsDirect.com My favourite colour is red and when I saw this in their catalogue I couldn't resist. It arrived and we assembled it and it is so comfortable. Padded arms, thick upholstery and red. :)
