#475- Midas Touch

I'm sure we've all of that story regarding King Midas who could turn everything he touched into gold, including his daughter- oh the horror, if not google it. Today is a bad day or at least I know it will be because I am having a horrid morning. Guess what my desktop computer decided to bail on me during STUVAC the one week in the whole year when I need everything to work so I can be in my right mind but no it has decided to take the VAC for vacation to heart. So with a decrepid computer which is only a few months old, I remain adamant that I have the Midas Touch for sending electronic goods to early graves. If anyone has any idea on how to simply turn on a computer, as stupid as it sounds because it won't respond, then please let me know of how I can remedy my dilemma. In the meantime I'm off waiting for a technician from Acer (steer clear of them) to call me so he can fix it but until then I guess I have to rely on my trusty macbook (which is true). Although I am quite fortunate in that everything I need is available on the school blackboard and what not or printed so the computer was really only there for research.
