And they don’t want me on the internet.


In order, a broken connector.
Broken recharger.
Broken hard drive.
Broken motherboard.
Broken connection again.

and besides that I was just away from oots for a while, but now I’m back. (until the gremlins strike again, that is)

Sounds like the time my PC burnt three times in the same year.
My gremlins dont want me to finish morrowind.

You know, a teacher at my school once blamed a whole string of emails set to the wrong people/with the wrong content on gremlins...

I think that they have it out for technology and are trying to make us turn away from it.

Yep. That sounds like gremlins all right. Call Steven Spielberg. Don't feed them after midnight. Treat with a liberal application of sunlight (repeat if necessary).

Get the phial of galadriel, that helps.

Oh, and don't go diving.

Set your computer on fire, it's the only way to get them.

I know it sucks, but you'll have to just move on :smallamused:

Could be due to compatibility issues or a faulty power supply. Just sayin'.

They did it for me! The time the motherboard went it went with eclectic sparks and a soul shaped plume of smoke. Very spectacular and all.

I am hoping to keep them out of this new laptop for as long as possible.

So they used fire against you.

You know what you have to do: time to break out the holy water :smalltongue:

You might be right, but my blacksmith instincts are telling me that if it has been on fire then it’s time to start hitting it with a hammer!
