It looks like it may be new computer time.
The HP model we have has all sorts of known problems and appears to be a lemon. This is the problem we're having; the damned thing won't even go to the boot menu or BIOS setup at IPL - most of the time. And when it does, it stops during Windows 7 IOS load with an I/O error on the new disk drive. Our efforts almost exactly match this guy's and there's no apparent fix beyond motherboard replacement. I might try that but have never done it before, so may go for a new one to get up and running before playing with this POS.

Apparently, when the first guy to arrive plugged it in, the damn thing was smoking. So he unplugged it and put the warning sign on.
Since then someone cleaned it up and cleaned it out. Because when I walked past I saw the remnants of a fresh pot. I quickly consumed said remnants, then brewed another pot and had a fresher cup.

Oh I don't know,...
We have smoked ham, smoked turkey,... why not smoked coffee?
:)
(I mean, it's not like it can hurt the stuff. It's essentially 'burnt water', I don't know WHY i'm addicted to the stuff!) ;P

I'm just trying to shake the mental image of a coffeepot with a cigarette taped to the side.

Well,...
Drejk & Treppa were last seen beating their respective Computers into submission with a baseball bat, AZ's attempt at his usual early morning overcaffination was interrupted by a coffeepot with a bad smoking habit, forcing him to seek solace in the arms of his other mistress, the bubbly and effervescent Doctor of Peppers, but his coffeepot promised to clean up it's act if he would only come back and give it another chance,...
Wait, I think That's AZ's soap opera!

I'm in GREAT shape! (Round IS a shape, right?) ;P
Of course it's a shape!
Actually, it's pretty much always my shape. No matter how physically fit I might be, I am still always round. That's just my body type. But I am working on reducing my circumference. :)

If only you could reduce pi then that would reduce it...

Even if only by a fraction?

I prefer to claim potato-shaped. I yam what I yam, after all.

Diane's HP turned out to be a very expensive lemon too.
We used to buy their products when they used to build something that wasn't crap.
Diane use to be an engineer there, but they laid her off to off shore every thing to third world countries.

Morning, all. What did I miss?
Well, Scott's day started off in a bad way, when a coffee pot explosion led to the evacuation of his office complex. Meanwhile, Steve found Diane's computer engineering background handy when the pair became trapped in a state-of-the-art automated home model by a computer virus. And, across town, Gary and Max were attacked by a yam-throwing....No, wait! That's my soap opera.
