Chris is a God who walks among men

[ciroccoj]

He just saved the boys' history projects. The history projects they've been working on for weeks. The history projects that will be part of the Home Schooling History Fair this Wednesday. The history projects that were almost entirely stored on the hard drive of my decrepit, coal-powered old Dell. The old Dell that decided, this morning, to not even deign to grace me with the Blue Screen of Death, and instead sat there saucily winking a single bright line in the top left hand corner of a totally black screen.

Yes, I majored in computers. Yes, I sat there helplessly, not even knowing enough to reboot while holding down F12 so I'd get a choice of where to boot from, and bypass the disk drive that recently ate a Sting's Brand New Day CD and decided to suffer a Brand New bout of indigestion. See, my computing science major was earned 17 years ago. And also?

How many computing science majors does it take to change a light bulb?
None. That's a hardware issue.

Anyway. Chris is a God.

When I have problems like that I call on my husband too. I was never a computer science major but I did take a few courses. But that was back in the Dark Ages so I could probably still write little Fortran programs (assuming I could find a computer that still read punch cards) but that's about it. He, on the other hand, is self taught and therefore knows all the practical stuff.

Laughing at your Computing science majors joke...
And so glad for the boys that the day was saved....
