My Notebook Argh!

Greetings. Let's begin. I own a notebook And so help me God, if I hear even one "Dude, you have a HP" remark, I'll break every known speeding law driving to my bank to empty my account in order to purchase the most deadly machine and I will put that sassy motherfucker to good use. So help me God.

Now then. With that out of the way, Let me tell you a funny story. I've had this HP notebook for roughly 11 months, which in computer time, is not even enough time to get a hard drive fragmented very badly. I mean, my machine is powerful, easily capable of running the highest resolution, graphic modes, sound modes, and random, high-processor modes without the slightest hint of slowdown. And that's saying something. So behold, last Saturday night, at 3:00 AM you can imagine my sudden and heart-chilling surprise when during a routine save of a Microsoft Word document, my hard drive froze. Or better yet, it melted. I sat there, staring at the screen, knowing something was terribly wrong. I could feel that sudden tightness grip my bowels like the iron fist of Bruce Lee telling me that my computer had froze. There was a moment of silence and slow motion like in the Matrix as I reached down for the power button after the routine Ctl+Alt+Delete failed...It was like an action film the hero reching down, the wind blowing through my curtains, a fierce storm raging outside. And then I heard it! A steady, rhythmic, pulsing BEEP coming from my computer! Not from the computer, for as I leaned closer and pricked my ears, I could hear it coming from, God save us all, the hard drive! Sudden cold terror went through me like a 5-year old caught in a group hug by Mickey, Donald and Goofy. I felt my heart and innards twisted into a mesh. My guts had strunk to peanuts size. I swore at the machine! BEEP I cursed its name, and the name of its forefathers! BEEP. BEEP!

Eventually on Monday when i switch it on. It went normal. gosh...
