Being the go-to computer repair for my family, friends, and THEIR family and friends at times, let me ask you to do one favor for anyone repairing your computer:

If they are still looking at it and haven't told you anything, please don't ask "So is my computer just trash now?" The answer is always going to be "no" unless the computer is actually physically broken, and frankly, if they are still looking at it, that's because they don't KNOW what's wrong with it yet.

Sorry, another pet peeve thread.

I have a feeling we're all the go-to-computer-guys in our respective families. My grandmother didn't ask me if her computer was hosed, but she did ask me if that's how I sat at work. Leaned back, legs stretched out, one arm behind my head. Yep! I go into that position without thinking about it.
