I Am Sofa King Wee Todd Did
Feb. 11th, 2005 09:52 amHave you ever had one of those moments that makes you feel like the biggest moron in the world? This morning is one of those moments for me.
That HP that I ranted about is not gone the way of the dodo. It is running just fine. The problem? Floppy in the drive.
To my credit, let me explain so I don't feel entirely stupid. The disk was black. When I first saw the error message, my immediate response was to hit the eject button on the floppy drive, but it reacted as though there was no disck and I did not see anything. Also the error message wasn't the usual "Non system disk" message you get when it's a floppy left in the drive. Oh well. I yanked off the faceplate for the PC and managed to get the floppy unstuck, so now it's running just fine. At worst I have a useless floppy, but I hardly ever use it so that's okay.
Okay, you can join me in saying it. "I'm so dumb!"
