Still Nookiless in Colorado

(1)

Kootch has been gone ten days now and still no nookie.

Since I switched to broadband there have been no fan warnings on startup. Several months after I bought the current PC, the warning, 'CPU fan failure - system will shut down in (several seconds) - F2 to abort shutdown' would appear. This would happen about 50% of the time. At first I would give the computer a mild karate chop and try again. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. I eventually began to hit F2, which always worked.

The processor never burned up. But after Mcafee got rid of the trojan files, that warning disappeared. I suspect the warning was the result of a trojan which was either designed to irritate me or to induce me to bring the thing back to Best Buy where the technician there would be able to perform more 'complex' surgury. I think the trojans were inserted as part of 'updates from hp.'

News time...
