This really *was* my lucky day - has to happen ONCE in awhile, y'know..
Got off work and drove my ailin' pc to - http://landiscomputer.com/Pages/default.aspx - the original branch, five minutes from my house. Was the only one in the parking row, until they opened - and it worked out, amazingly.
Dale was there. Alone. The lovely gentleman with the little round glasses and salt n'pepper hair that sold me my $75 computer that lasted for FOUR YEARS. Amusingly enough, he remembered me (I sure remembered him; he's really cute) and LOL - with the help of a drill and five whole minutes, FIXED MY PC FOR FREE. I *tried* to pay him, but - as he said, he'd have gotten in trouble for fixing my computer, as it's outdated and new management dictates that he's supposed to sell me a new one, so it was GOOD that I was there on opening, and he was alone..Turns out, it was the freakin' button on the front of the computer - he showed me; it was not connecting properly to the little light-up stick that turned the pc on. SO, he drilled a hole in the front and clipped the thingy in properly, and voila! With a well-aimed press of a screwdriver/pen/nicotine inhaler thingy, I was good to go.
A million ♥ for Mister Dale.
Also, Brian Cox. Just sayin'.
