No Butch, I have no CD/disc player, no CD/disc burner. It doesn't work.
Good Morning!

You could pay a tech dood to do it for you.

Brian, your symptoms almost sound like a power supply going bad. It's easy peasy to replace one.

Actually, my UPS went bad this morning and I unplugged it and bypassed it. Need to pick up another one soon. I have brief (less than 5 second) power outages often enough that it's worth the $100+ every 1.5 years to keep one.
(UPS = Uninterruptible Power Supply, a rechargable battery backup that you plug into)

Uhhh you do know the batteries are replacable...
The APC ones I deal with for work, have lead-acid batteries that just pop right out with no hassles at all.

Cool, I didn't know that. I just opened it up and pulled the battery out. Maybe I can get a replacement at 'The Battery Store' or someplace like that?

I use Flash USB drives for backing up these days, for the critical business stuff, it takes a while to fill 4GB. I dont bother with music and movies etc. I also save downloaded software and updates if I can. I rotate between 2 of the 4Gig units. For under $20 CDN they are super simple etc. about half the size of a Bic lighter.

I used one of those when I bought this computer to swap over some info from my old computer. The software on it was buggy and I ended up having to just delete/ bypass it. I got most of what I wanted by simply dragging and dropping files onto the flash drive, then pulling them off the same way on the new computer. I ended up throwing it away afterwards because it was so buggy and a PITA to use. I'm sure there are better brands, I must have gotten a crappy one.

Morning all .I have to go to the bank then install new circuit breaker box for my mother .
The old fuse box my dad installed around 1963 or so finally gave up the ghost .
After which I hope to do some machine work on a Stihl 200 T I am souping up . If I have enough time after that I may make a few more specialty tools to aid in saw repairs .

Al, you are so good to your mama.
I have a bid to do at 8:00 and then I am supposed to provide a chipper for my church. They have a bunch of raywood ash trees that are full of mistletoe. One of the local orchard farmers is going to prune it out using his pruning tower and I'm supposed to chip it up.

Raining here today. My computer went kaput last night, it's been running progressively worse the last few weeks, and my bro thinks the mother board is fried as the temperatures were enough to burn you. I'm here typing through Nintendo Wii though, works just like a normal computer.

I did not like the idea of pruning globe willows in the rain, so the boys are picking up their checks and taking the rest of the day off.
