Confusing Thoughts...

Wow, lately I've been having some really interesting and very confusing thoughts...Hence the title of this blog!

About a month, there was this weird and random power out and my Windows computer was on at the time so it shut off unexpectedly. Well, it's not the first time that has happened so I thought nothing of it until a few weeks ago when I wanted to play some video games. I went to turn my compy on and it booted to BIOS POST with no problem, but then came back with a boot disk error...

"Hmmm..." I thought, "I've had it not read my primary slave before, but it's never had a problem reading my primary master." So, I restarted the compy and entered BIOS setup to see if it was reading my HDD's...Lo and behold it wasn't! "What!" I said very loudly..."This can't be happening!"

I was in denial; I restarted my compy and went through BIOS at least 5 more times to see of the drives were read and nothing! The power out fried both my HDD's! That's 120 GB of documents, music, videos, games, editing applications, graphic design applications and so much more...GONE!

So I've been thinking about finances lately and today I realized that my compy is just sitting there collecting dust. I haven't used it in close to over a month and I spend most of my time on my Power Book..."Why not put a new HDD in the compy and then sell it? And while I'm at it, why not throw in all my games and my PDA?" Okay, those of you who know me know that this is not normal thinking from me...Usually I'm a very strong Windows supporter, I like Windows for gaming...and now I'm talking of selling my gaming compy and all my games!

But think about it...my home built compy + 21 computer games + a Dell Axim X50 = MAJOR $$$! And I could definitely use the money right now.

I guess I'm blogging all of this mainly to justify or to process my actually doing this so I can rest easily (or at least try to). And besides, if I miss gaming so much, I can always save up some money and build a newer and better computer...just a thought.

Thanks for baring with me while I rant!
