You know there are the rare occasions where being a techie pays off. I’m not talking about in the form of money.

My friend Will called me up last night. I had given him my old gaming rig in parts. he used to be big into computers, something took him away though. So he is trying to get up to date. Well he called and needed some help. So I went over to help him out.

When I got there he had the rig put together and needed a little help connection everything up. So we got everything hooked up and ready to go. Turn it on and Windows crashed. More than likely because sysprep was not run on the drive and we changed everything out, except the harddrive.

The good thing was that I plugged in my USb thumb drive, which I have DSL loaded on and booted to it. The computer ran like a champ. Maybe I should have kept my old gaming rig? Na, he was ecstatic, and I was happy to help. I have never minded helping someone that wants to learn.
