That's right ladies and gents, Mere is back in business, and damn happy about it too. Compy is fully fixed, I didn't lose any of my files, and I have a date next week out of it too...
See, I went into future shop and dropped off compy to be fixed, then got a call the next day saying that they'd backed up all my files and wanted me to come in and double check that they'd gotten everything before they hard-wiped the system.
So I go into the store, and into the back room where they work on the compys, and practically the whole nerd herd was gathered around my compy. All I could think was "oh gods, they've found something embarassing...."
Instead, the boys turn around, spot me and say, "this is your computer? Damn, you're awesome!" Somewhat confused, I get a look at the screen, where my screensaver is playing. My screensaver cycle's through all the wallpapers and things I keep on my compy. Now, y'all know me. I am the queen of the geeks, practically any fandom out there is represented on my compy somewhere.
So I come in and start going through the files, and one of the cuter members of the herd comes up behind me and says, in this really hesitant voice, "Um... do you have the batman superman movie? I've been looking everywhere for it!" I actually did have it in the files, and copied it for him, and this lead to almost an hour of raping and pillaging mere's compy.
