The Omen

I was reloading my wife's work PC when the impossible happened. My XP cd shattered in the drive! I have heard of this happening, but in almost 10 years of being a SysAd I've never actually had it happen to me. It went off like a gunshot!


I took the drive apart and cleaned out all of the broken disk and, believe it or not the thing worked like a champ.


So there you have it. Mythbusters eat your heart out!

I figure that this is a bad omen or something. Now I have to keep a Windows ME disk in a shallow bowl of scotch under my bed for three days. It's the only way to de-funk the bad ju-ju.

BTW, I had another copy and Joy's PC works great. All's well that ends well.
