   The wife asked me - via ICQ - to fix her friend’s computer - computer is in Victoria - with a fault description of “Nothing works”
   The receptionist here also asked me to fix a printer here in the office, fault description being “Nothing prints”
   I feel that after these requests this morning it is my right to tell you that my computer reboots if I start trying to do anything with it. Fix it.

   Ah. It’s not software, I know this because I did a fresh install of windows and it still falls over like Margot Kidder’s mental state. All opinions offered point towards the memory chips - I just haven’t memtested them because…well, let’s just call it a triumph of laziness over adversity.

   Aaah - If you’re too lazy to do a memtest then there’s really not much help for you
