Screen.

Inside the naughty computer.

The screwing up of the screen may be caused by a bad connection of the screen. There is a bad connection where the screen is connected to the comp.

The culprit.

The culprit from the other side.

This is the state of the screen most of the time.

Hi y'all!
Well, we were going to install Service Pack 2 on ma comp. So I got the instructions off the web and thought:''Oh, this looks easy peazy lemon squeazy. You just download it and presto!''. Obviously, seeing as Bill Gates made it, you couldn't just download it. NO, first the web site would scan your comp for updates and basically it just never finished. So my father decided to rid the over-loaded comp of some useless programs including Skype (He doesn't like the fact that the program uses the dock to dock system and that it uses your computer to send info out with, even when you're not signed into Skype). He deleted old updates. ''So what?'' you may say. I'll tell you what. Now the comp is boogared! It didn't work properly, so he tried to get them back again. He restarted and now nothing works. Absolutely nothing! The screen has lines going down it vertically, horizontally and diagonally. There are little squares in the background, it freezes, internet doesn't work, Picasa doesn't work. As for the webbie on Friday: there's MSN on my father's comp, I could install the webcam here if ma comp isn't working. Luckily we did a backup before and most of my docs are on here (Dad's comp). Now we have to get rid of EVERYTHING, every single program and reinstall the whole system which is actually better. My father can buy a CD with Microsoft XP System Pack 2 for 20 Frs from CERN. Unfortunately one can only use the CD once, so you don't use it an all your computers, just on one. So don't know how long that will take! Why? Because of Bill Gates incapableness of making anything that works and is easy to use!
Did you see the Emmys? Obviously I missed them. Jeremy Irons got one for best supporting actor! We all love Scar, er no I mean Aramis, oops I mean Jeremy Irons, don't we?
I have new Yahoo! addresses, but I won't post 'em on here.
Since not all the pics are on here I don't know what I'll post on the blog. Wait, some are on my camera! I'll bring 'em over later.
Toodles I'm off to do something or other!
