When my computer fails I take one of two possible options
1) Calmly boot in Knoppix and continue using it
or
2) Curl myself in a corner and cry uncontrollably Wink

I would probably freak out.

But I have never had a computer that has broken, so I have yet to experience it.

I rarely have trouble with my computers, any problems arise and they're usually easily fixed.

Last time my computer broke it failed to power up. It was after I installed another hard drive. I was left to go through my troubleshooting and a good rebuild was the only other option short of removing the CPU and RAM.

I am a technician so I know what to do (Go Linux - Laughing ) Just gotta get my sound working in SuSE 11.0 64

I would be disappointed for a few minutes, then would do something else.

I call it a piece of sh**, threaten to throw it out of the window, and then pound on the desk while continuing to swear. Then I get distracted and do something else.
