Thanks, Spöntz!
My laptop had crashed some weeks ago. I brought it to the vendor to get it repaired. Past week an unknown number appeared some times in my cell phone, and each time it rang I could not pay it attention. At last, past friday I could be able to pick it up and then … surprise! my laptop was repaired.
I hardly could believe it. Liso's laptop had the same problem that mine (that is, any kind of program that used the gpu more or less intensively made the screen go completely crazy, appearing lots of shit in it… First it only appeared when the computer was a long time running, but finally it even appeared when using just the notepad!! Don't laugh - it's the crude truth) and, as I was telling, it had to be changed the entire motherboard because the graphics card was almost burnt. It was just one week since I left the laptop in the repair house… it was very strange because in Liso's case, they spent more than three weeks to repair it.
But I went and took my laptop and asked them which was the problem in their opinion, of course. Laugh: the bios. They had updated the bios! Can you believe it? I turned the face, completely sceptical, and said … what?…. That guy was sunrising and telling it without any kind of shame! I couldn't stand it anymore, so I took everything, and went home, in the pouring rain… desiring that it was the last time that I had to repair the laptop.
I arrived, pluged everything, and then I turned it on. Windows begins opening stupid dialogs about new hardware found. What the f……? what had these people done to my computer…? I was beginning to get angry… But I hadn't still make the computer pass the-definitive-test: play a demo!
So I clicked on spontz_dieanderung.zip … executed it and everything was ok. Die Anderung is loading… it was like a kind of illusion … and it only lasted the loading time, because just when the demo started, the computer turned crazy again. Lots of shit!!! Arghhh! And then, only then, I was really really angry…
After a complete weekend to meditate, I decided to use Die Anderung for my profit. How? Well, I have taken back the laptop to the shop and I have showed to the guy in the repair shop which was the problem. He looked at the screen like saying: you babe… hahaha … what are you going to demonstrate me? bahhh … until the shit-screen has appeared. His face has changed the colour, has stop talking nonsense and then I had pressed ESC.
The windows desktop was a mess, it was almost impossible to distinguish the windows from the background. Shit, shit, shit! And I said him: do you understand _NOW_ which was the problem?. He still had some incredulity inside, so he reboots the computer to verify it's not a software problem… …. AND EVEN THE BOOTING SCREEN APPEARED CRASHING!
We… we … well… mmm … yes, I think this _is not_ a software problem… it seems to be something more serious…
So I want to thank Sp�ntz, because without their demo, I would still be with a crashed laptop just because that clumsy guy did not believe me - and did not make his work, by the way!
I hope that the meaning of die Anderung is like a kind of premonition and I had my laptop with the entire motherboard replaced very very soon!
And once again … Thanks, Sp�ntz! you rule!!!!!
