Sometimes, I just feel cursed with electronics, but then I remember that my last laptop gave me 7 good years and my last television gave me 10 (and continues serving up the morning news in my workout/front room). This week’s adventure is brought to you by Microsoft Windows, a spastic cat, and my failed reliance on the two to not collide in my living room.
If it doesn’t boot, it doesn’t give me TV and it won’t record my favorite shows while I’m working. I could just buy a TiVo, but that’s like admitting defeat. True to my techie nature, I’d much rather curse at it for a week and be able to boast that I don’t NEED TiVo when I have my own setup.
Current stage: It gets through to the Windows XP logo and then just a black screen.
UPDATE: The TV is working again
