Thank goodness for weekends!

Yes, I am looking forward to a restful weekend as my office computer hasn't exactly been very cooperative lately.

Yesterday, I e-mailed our Sales group and they received this single e-mail 12 times! Our Network Admin looked into the problem and he discovered that my e-mail client has reached twice the amount of e-mails it can handle. 2GB in all. So he re-configured my inbox and it looks ok so far. I just hope this problem didn't extend to customers I have been corresponding with.

And then, I was writing a rather lengthy document on MS Word when wham!. This error message popped before my unbelieving eyes.

It definitely is catastrophic. Wait a minute ... if I click on the OK button, does it mean that this catastrophe is ok with me? How come there isn't a NOT OK button?

Why is it that when you are doing something important, that's the time when things don't cooperate with you? Murphy's Law?

PS for some reason, I cannot make comments on my shoutbox. So I will just put my latest entries here:
Teacher Sol, visit ka lang when you have the time. No pressures, no worries :-)
Abaniko, ok rin blog mo so I linked you up as well.
Doc Emer, we're good. Thanks for visiting!

  3. How about clicking on the "X" button?

    Hi there! Sorry, but you left me salivating with your okoy and dinikdik-na-siling-labuyo-and-suka dip! I hope you don't mind me lurking around. ;)

  4. what the... ngayon lang ako nakakita ng error message na ganyan. "Catastrophic failure?" Is this a Microsoft quirk?

  5. Hello Bokbok! I wouldn't mind you visiting at all. I regularly see your posts in Ting's, may mind retention yung photo na ginagamit mo :-)

    Hi Cherry. Actually first time ko rin nakita kaya sabi ko, 'Uh oh, mukhang grabe na ito. Ma-i-blog nga.' :-)

  7. I think if I received a catastrophic failure warning on my computer, I would be thinking that I had ten seconds before it self destructed in a violent explosion of hardrives and RAM. Them folks of Bill Gates sure have warped senses of humor.

  10. what a coincidence! my PCs (both home and office) are acting strangely (really crazy like they have minds of their own)...or perhaps it's the user after all. i've yet to figure that out.

  12. G,
    di na makacomment sa blog mo. :)

    follen,
    you can trade in your clamshell mac to the 2 major mac distributors in Metro Manila. you can use it as part of your payment for a new mac.

    try to see if you can boot from the CD first. you might be able to save it.

  14. follen,

    try senco link in makati (bought my ibook from them) or ynzal in QC. they're the ones who offer trade in so far. worst case, you can try to sell it in buy and sell.

    try to have senco recover your files. it might cost you though.
