I sat in a doctor's waiting room yesterday for 5 hours to get some antibiotics, and then after getting them at a pharmacy, I came home to take a nap. Then my buddie called to say the new desktop that I had given him seemed to be running too slow, and he couldn't get it to run right. So I went over there to see what I could do. I got it running well again, and we watched my Texas Longhorns get smashed in a football game.
This morning he called me again, and said they had a lightening storm last night, and they lost their power for several hours. When he power was restored, the desktop would not turn on. I was waiting for the PinoyKargo driver to come by my house to pick up 7 balikbayan boxes of my things that I am sending to the Philippines. About 3 PM that was finished, so I headed back over o Don's. Unfortunately, the power surge from the lightening strike fried the new desktop. I tested it as best as I could, and then I replaced it with his old unit, and got it working well enough for him to surf again. I don't know if this new Dell pc can be salvaged or not. If it can be saved, then I will have that done. I got online and found another Dell pc that I purchased for him so he can enjoy his time. he seldom gets out of his house, and he really likes to chat with his old friends on facebook. He has done a lot for me over the years, and I am glad that I can do something to help him a little.
