It’s Alive!!! It’s Alive!!!
August 15, 2006Much to my surprise, I received both my car and my PC back on the same day. The crash repairers had some difficulty matching the gold colour of my car, so it took several extra days to get that right.
As for the PC, apparently the only problem was that the motherboard drivers needed to be installed first. The PC seems to be working fine (at least for now). The only thing I need to be careful of is the buildup of dust in the PC. Regularly cleaning it once every month should fix that problem.
What’s interesting about these unpleasant experiences is just how much we rely nowadays on technology. Without the car, I can’t get to work. Without a PC, I don’t have access to the internet and can’t see what’s going on in the outside world. It’s an advantage because it gives you wider access to more information. It’s a disadavantage because you come to rely on it far too much. Lesson learned.
