Computer question

[aint2nuts]

The fan is out on my computer. My brother told me to turn it off until I can replace the fan so I don't wreck the computer.

I have a small fan that I could hook up and blow into the back of the computer. Does anyone know it it will work? I really don't want to be offline for a couple months. He hasn't gotten back to me on it.

Anyone?

A replacement fan costs about $5. Putting another fan external and running it is not a wise decision, though.

Why was I given such a high quote for a fan if all they are going to run is 5-10 bucks? Someone was trying to bend me over and fit something in where it doesn't belong.

The quote was probably mostly labour.

[aint2nuts]

Yeah, labor at bending me over. It is hard work.

I just remembered something!!!

My first computer from college had it's power supply go out and I lost everything!!!

all of my college papers--- everything.

But I had to fight tooth and nail to get a replacement under the Lemon policy that Best Buy had back when I bought it. So I couldn't just take out the hardrive and Tim for some reason couldn't back it up for me.

This computer is old, there is no way I could take it back to where I originally got it from.

No - that's not what I meant - what I was worried about was you losing all of your files!

**now I'm stressed out just thinking about that again and worrying about you!!!***

ACK! I didn't think about losing all my files. I have the rest of the outline of my book on the computer. GUess I better spend some time backing up the computer.
