I got my computer back.

ITS gave it back around 20 minutes ago. I'll be able to sit down and work with it this evening.

Bravery is better than a faint heart for a man seeking to put his nose out of doors. My fate and the number of my days has already been decided.

Did they return it in worse condition then when you gave it to them?

I'd check the history in Internet Explorer to see what interesting sites they've been on. =D

They wiped the harddrive. It's just like the day I got it. No trojans that are just there, no spam in my email, no one-minute countdown. We're golden. The only thing is downloading and installing all my programs is taking an inordinate amount of time due to the crappiness of the school network.

LAWL! So I got my comp back from the ITS fuckers up here at NGCSU and they're like, "So yeah... all we did was reformat. But I'll have you notice that your computer says that your harddrive is failing..."

At that moment I felt as though I had contracted a deadly virus...

...from you, brother. LAWL! Why didnt you TELL ME the harddrive was wonky?! I been putting that poor little piece of shit through hell! It's like making a skinny kid carry a 200lb load! HAR HAR! Now I need a frickin harddrive... I'm gonna search newegg.com for something decent for the meantime. As of right now I'm DLing RO (I know... my poor harddrive) but it has to be done! Anywho... YEAH! I'm not mad because of the harddrive sucking ass! I'm mad because those DOUCHES reformatted when I coulda done that myself! *shit's in a bag and takes it to the computer hub*

heh, told ya...  i figured that's what they'd do, as it seemed like the only possible sure-fire solution.  =)

so far, i've been able to keep my computer in pretty good shape.  AVG keeps picking up a few viruses within my critical files that it can't heal whenever i do a manual scan, but nothing screwy going on, luckily.  probably the worst thing i'm doing is constantly downloading anime/hentai and then deleting them due to the small amount of space on my hard drive.  i've heard that it's bad to do that a lot, as it messes with the memory that's been written out on the drive and starts to really bog it down speed-wise, maybe i'm wrong...  man, it makes me want that shiny new computer that's been brooding within the complex vacancies of my mind lately...  even with a band scholarship paying for tuition, my parents are still paying around $750 a month for my ass to be in college, which sucks when you're trying to save up money for an expensive new toy...  >_<;
