Do You Have a Computer That's a Brick or Has the BSOD Got You?

I found a great website that helps people who aren't computer geniuses get their computers up and running. The people I've dealt with there are patient and understanding. They know you may not be the smartest person when it comes to computers *hand's raised* but they never make you feel that way. They don't charge anything but you can donate money through PayPal if you want to. A major thing though, is to not do anything to your computer unless they ask you to. If you don't know what you're doing you could make matters worse (how can things get worse if you're looking at the BSOD you ask...yes they can; something that may have taken them 4 steps to fix may now take 400 because you didn't want to bother anyone or wait for someone to get to you so you tried to fix your computer by following instructions in someone else's thread). I'm not going to guarantee they can fix every computer; sometimes a brick is a brick, but why not give it a shot before you give up or spend hundreds of dollars fixing your own personal brick.

I had a computer that encountered the BSOD. I gave up and then I saw a post there that gave me hope. A wonderful person at this website helped me and now the computer is up and running. The only thing mainly requested of you is patience. They do this on a volunteer basis and there's more "sick" computers than people who walk you through fixing them. I'm not going to go into "rules and regulations"; if you're interested you can go there and read yourself.   Don't be frightened off by R & R, nothing major. If you're looking at the BSOD give them a shot; they're great.

I recommend you go here  for safe; free (unless you choose to donate); friendly and knowledgeable help with any problems your computer's having (not just a dead computer).   

This is my first attempt at putting a link in so hopefully I got it right. I tested it when I made the link and it worked then so I assume I did it correctly and you can now go there. I should mention that not only do they help you with a disabled/malfunctioning computer there's a lot of information there, as well as tutorials and even just forums to chat in. You can even be a volunteer yourself (you have to be taught by them) if you're interested (you don't have to be a computer whiz to start with; they'll teach anyone).

That took up more time and room than I expected. I am going to touch on other things that I've discovered that aren't computer related in the future but it just seems like those involving computers have been on my mind lately so thus they are on here now. 

Here's something I found very interesting. How incompetent does a doctor have to be to write a prescription for a medicine that doesn't exist? I had some prescriptions that were picked up at the doctor's office late Friday afternoon by someone else. Saturday one of them was brought to the pharmacy and the pharmacist said he never heard of the medicine. Thinking that maybe it was a new medicine I called the doctor and he said to just throw it away; he didn't know why he wrote it.

HUH?!?!

Me time is over. Like I said, I didn't want to take up so much room/time with the website information but I did previously warn you about Verbal Diarrhea. 

In parting I do want to say that almost everything I recommend or put on here as information will be something I personally know about. It won't be a situation where this one told that one, and that one told  someone, and then someone told me, so I thought it sounded good so I let you know. It may be something someone told me or something I read but in most cases it won't be on here unless I tried it personally. Make sense? I was going to just have "information" on here that I had first hand knowledge of but I started to think that I may come across something that sounds interesting and/or helpful but I'm not in a situation to do it or try it. If that happens I will make it quite clear that I haven't tried or done whatever it is. If you don't see any "disclaimer" I've tried it.

Also, I'm going to try to recommend instead of rip apart. In other words....instead of saying something is crap I'm going to try and say something else is good. That may not happen all the time but I'll try.

Hope everyone has a good night. Hopefully I'll see you tomorrow.
