Thanksgiving break and Dell   

December 3rd, 2003 at 12:00 am

So what if I lied to you all and said this post would be up yesterday? What are ya gonan do about it? Huh? HUH? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Like I’ve been saying for weeks, I finally finished comparing Dean and Clark and like I said, Dean is the better option. So eat it Fellner. eat it Fellner.

Thanksgiving Break was awesome. I honestly did way too much to talk about in detail on here, so I’ve decided to give a quick summary. I got home, saw the family, ate some turkey, scored a touchdown, recieved a concussion, went out to dinner with Jess, passed out due to my concussion, went to a fancy dinner in Ashville, stayed up from 5 PM to 8 AM watching a marathon of the first season of 24, spent more time with the family, came back to school. See, wasn’t that all you really wanted to know? I took plenty of pictures, however, so expect an update to the gallery section within a week or two. They are all mainly family photos, so I now have some current pictures of my siblings!

I called Dell last night and was surprised to find out that the wait time for the support help was only around 10 minutes. I soon discovered why it was only around 10 minutes though. Apparently many computer companies, including Dell, hire cheap-labor technicians and set up call centers in India. I was introduced to Apu from the Kwik-E-Mart and he walked me through an hour and a half of stuff I had already tried before. Finally he told me that my initial assumption was correct and that my hard drive had indeed crashed. So in the next 2-3 business days, I should be getting a new drive. And HOPEFULLY this drive will allow me to install Win XP on it, because I am so damn sick of Win ME.

    Regarding your quick summary: I do love a pithy post. I have a really short attention span.
