gd bye my pentium 3 cui comp !

today i went to recover my comp data.darn spend $50 on that.initally wanted to giv up hope liao, but i went sim lim to recover the data instead cos i really need some of my files doc inside my comp.but didnt expect to be so ex. first shop that i was quoted was $120, nxt was $100 , then lastly was $180...when i hear the recovery price i really damn sian liao cos its not worth recovering when its super damn ex for those photos and sch doc files..but somehow the last shop, that uncle was very fatherly.he ask me to quote my price.then i roughly quoted $50 since the max i would allow myself to pay for recovering data is tat price.then i was very stunned tat he actually agreed to it man...he say since i am a student and i needa recover my sch work. so he helped me..wah super nice man, i was damn touched ! but the recovery process was freaking darn long.i waited for 4 hrs and yet the recovery is not done.so i had to come bac another day to retrive it.but anw initally i tried to find out if the market is still selling my hardisk...wanted to tried to retrive my cui comp de.but the market nv sell 40gb IDE hardrive anymore..in fact in few mths IDE hardrive will be out of market and replaced by SSD hardisk..so i guess its not worth while purchasing this IDE hardisk since nxt time i cant get to purchase it when it spoils again..i guess i shall proclaim my cui comp as DEAD TOTALLY THIS TIME. and YOU SHALL REST IN PEACE THEN !! so sad.my many yrs of comp is gone and indeed it needed to be scrap off cos it has reached its life time !!!
