It’s Dead
I cannot believe it. But the PC I just built is dead. Last night I ran three computers as I worked on 12 to Midnight’s books. My laptop has the accounting software and Excel spreadsheets. The new PC was being used to look up numbers on the internet on Google Checkout and Paypal. The mini tower in the guest room has a printer hooked up to it and I used that to print out sales and royalty reports.
Because of printing I ran back and forth from my office to the guest room to pick up the output. Once I left the happy world lit by blue fan lights of the PC. When I walked back it was dead. No lights. I did not smell any burning smell. I pushed the on switch and nothing. Other electronics plugged into the surge protector worked. I pulled the cord and tried another electrical outlet. Still no power. Looks like my 500 watt power supply kicked the bucket. At least it is still under warranty.
In retrospect it is kind of spooky. I think the computer has died pretty close to the time my brother died last year. At least a PC is a lot easier to do with out. But really kind of strange that this happened so close to the first year anniversary of his death.

Ha, that sounds like my Dad… he’ll be running two laptops and the home pc at the same time. I wonder how he can juggle three computers - I have my hands full flipping windows in one!
