My personally built, lovingly cared for, absolutely perfect computer is not a he but.....

A SHE!!!

How do I know this you may ask.

The evidence is pretty overwhelming.

Wed, I began the process of adding a much needed additional hard drive, a brand new SATA 1.5 TB Seagate, as well as a new 120MM Cooling fan with this pretty blue glue light in it.

I rebooted the computer and all of a sudden, my DVD burner had vanished!!

Now, I initially put this down to the simple fact that HAL (named for the psychotic unit in 2001) has quite often pulled these little tricks....

But, then two seconds later, the power supply went *POOF* with a little puff of smoke and flash from inside the power supply case, and of course HAL went into a coma.

Today, new power supply, (by this time I was beginning to suspect the pc was actually a female, she was showing the same attitude my first wife had, the one that put cigarette burns on my son's arm before I got custody of him)

Booted up, still not dvd

Ran through all the windows fixes... no luck.

Then I did the most illogical, stupid, insane, backward thinking thing in the world, I reversed the order of the cable select plugs between the dvd and a cdrom on that controller...

Now, on wed. there had been no reason to touch these two plugs, so, I never touched those cables in my first mounting of the new drive.

Now then, with the above presented evidence, it is clear that this particular computer has been masquerading as a male, when in fact it has been a devious, sneaky femputer just waiting to pull some insane plot in order to make me doubt my sanity, BUT, once more I have proved that I am already insane and can see through any such consparacies!

GEEK DOMS OF THE WORLD UNITE!  THE GREAT FEMALE CONSPARACY TO TAKE OVER THE CYBER WORLD NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!!!

BUT THEN I MAY BE HAVING PARANOID DELUSIONS

Didn't you aready know that most computers, including all Macs, are female?  That is why no matter how careful you are with them they will continue to misbehave, pick up nasty virii, and generally annoy the living daylights out of you.  But try, just try living your live without one...

Mac's Get Viruses? Since When?

I know that they have a problem with deciding that you can no longer use a particular application and require that you completely get rid of it and put a new one on.

But Virii?

having two HDs for a combined 600GB is enough for me

I paid for it out of my own allowance, its great when you have earned the opportunity to reward your self

Well, prior to wed. I was running three 1tb drives, and 1 80 gig that was just for my operating system.

Now, since it had been so longs since the pc had misbehaved in any fashion, which, in truth was a minor glitch in a program that I found out they had a patch out for it the very day the game was released, therefore it was not the pc's fault, I decided that the creature should be rewarded with a brand new drive, and the new cooling fan with the nice Sapphire blue glow.

How did it react?  With utter contempt and hardheadedness.  Considering that I have the funds to create a newer box, I am sorely tempted to do so and regulate this ungrateful hunk of circuit boards and wires to the menial task of network file server, never more to rove the web, instead, she will fade into obscurity along with others of her ilk.
