h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

By the way, where do you work?

At Cheltenham Ladies College. Only first time. Installing computers etc. Fun.

First time? Don't you mean part time.
Lucky you, there are some very nice girls at ladies college.

I quit my job at Tesco's a month ago, partly because it was boring work (a machine could have done better) and partly because it allowed me to go surf kayaking in Cornwall (like surfing, but in a Kayak). DUDE!

Fist time: my first job.
It's full time, 9-5 mon-fri for 6 weeks.
And it's the holidays -schools' out- no girls!

Yes, but you have lovely co-workers like yours truly to lighten the load... =P.

And as a second opinion, it's not bad work in that it's not too tough and it's always a nice bunch of people who do it. You could do far worse. (And whilst there may be some nice girls at clc, some of the rest do not bear thinking about).

Hi there, Tom.

Welcome to H2G2, look at the don't panic button for lots of help.

Have you tryed ICQ? I've tryed to send you Slam but your not authorised yet.

erm

i auth'd you. but you haven't authed me. i got a message from you unathed. try agian?

bad luck about mobo. hope it all sorts out...

tom.

who's mobo?

Ok, I'll try again.

Oh no, I can't, modem isn't working!

Will when I get it working

ok

mobo = motherboard.

just had a thought... what wattage is your computer PSU? It's just athlons like at LEAST 250W and they really really really like 300W ones - they're power hungry little blighters. Talk to Elliot about this - it could be your machine isn't getting enough power. Try booting it with like, only the graphics card or something in the PCI/ISA slots.

I take it you were nice and antistaticed before you went installing?

That's all. Hope it all works out.

tom.

It's working now. The prob was that the RAM was too slow for the cpu and so wasn't wqorking. means I've only got 64 so I'm goiung to buy another.

I did get a huge spark from the old mobo when I tested that, bout a cm long! Still works. HA!

It's running like a rocket!
