Computer Tech
I decided to replace my CD-RW drive today. It's been on the fritz for about a year, so yesterday I did some trouble-shooting online. The only solution was to purchase a new drive. Now you may be wondering why I didn't procrastinate longer, but since I had money and I didn't want to go to school (I still managed to procrastinate!), I decided to do it today. When I asked the guy at the shop how difficult it was to install, he said that since I'd never done it before it would be best to bring in the computer and have them install it (for $45). So I decided to do it myself. After pulling apart as much of my computer as I could without the manual (It's in a box in Iowa), I realized I needed some instructions and reconnected all of the necessary wires so that I could find instructions on the internet. But my internet wasn't working, and I wasn't sure if it was me or the network. After trying out my roommates computer, I decided it must be the network, so I went to the basement, disconnected some power cords (not exactly sure which ones, but they were all part of the internet system), reconnected them, and tried out my computer again. This time it worked, and I was able to get the instructions and install the drive.So, I think maybe I should drop the math degree and go into computers. Then again, it's only a thrill if you have no idea what you're doing and it somehow works. Doing the same thing over and over would get boring. Hmm. I need to come up with a future career/goal.
Any suggestions?
