Laptop Computer in Stable Condition Following Scare


(OP) Seattle, Washington -- Kari Olmsted's laptop (Dell) is resting comfortably at home this evening, reportedly in good condition following a sudden BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) attack late Friday night. Dell was rushed to the Computer Hospital early Saturday morning to undergo emergency brain and heart transplantation. While in the ICU following surgery, Dell also recieved a hefty dose of antibiotics and a procedure the technicians would only describe as "optimization". Ms. Olmsted could not be reached for comment, as she is said to be working feverishly to compensate for the three lost days of lecture preparation time. A spokesperson for Ms. Olmsted released this statement hours ago: "The presentation will go on as schedules and is expected to be a huge success. Dell has never performed better, given his age, and is rising to the occasion, ready to meet the deadline head-on."

I'm so glad you can find such very clever humor (and a happy ending!) in the nightmare this problem produced! I tell you ... computers are a love-hate relationship!! Thanks for the entertainment :o)

I'm not saying mac's don't have their fair share of issues, but I think they come with all their shots. No viruses to worry about and, pretty much, no Alzheimer's (memory loss/hard drive death). Okay, cheesey :)

Love you, sis, and hope the computer keeps chugging away!
