Back and a little pissed off

I'm back from my residential thingy. It was fine, the staff were friendly and it snowed for 3 days so there were plenty of snowball fights- all good fun :)

So I arrived yesterday afternoon, switched on the PC and after 15 minutes it switched itself off, let off a pretty loud bang and emitted some smoke. Not good. I have no idea if I'll be able to rescue anything off the hard drive. Luckily I'd saved some stuff I'd been working on to a USB before I left.

I've brought down the even older, even slower Pentium 3 from the loft (probably about 9  yrs old). It has a whopping 601MHz processor and 256mb of RAM... I can't even play a music vid on youtube and surf DA at the same time, and even scrolling is jerky. I tried opening a 10mb file on PS and it took several minutes. >.<

My Mum says I have to wait about 4 or 5 months until we get anything new. Wtf. Can anyone see the sense in that???! I'm going to whinge and whine and have a tantrum until she gives in and gets a cheap CPU from Dell or something. I don't hold out much hope though... :(

10 Days of Easter holiday left. Unable to do any graphics :noes:

Why me? >_>
