Laptop Stolen.

Yeap, today. Sad news. Seriously.

I walked down the 2 rooms from mine asking some floor-mates if they had a copy of Windows XP since the newest update whiped out my registry. Upon doing so, someone walked into my room and stole my laptop. It looks like I'll be without a computer till I come home for the Winter. I'm sorry guys. Hopefully the 23rd comes soon.

On an up note. The HDD was trashed. Sometime last night as I said the registry crashed, so you cant boot windows nor format. All you hear is "Click, Click.. BEEP"

........ you Microsoft. Oh well, atleast they didnt take my external HDD.

But it amazes me that they could disconnect all that with in a matter of 30 seconds and run out.

See ya all in a few days.... :-/

Good advice, Samfan. Lost and found won't help here, I suppose. Maybe you should have tried to search for it a bit. Who knows, might turn up that you know these motherf*ckers.

So you hard drive blows up and some ........ ends up with a non-working laptop and you end up with a brand spanking new one in a week or so... I think that worked out nicely.
