Yesterday something weird has happened.
I tried to boot my pc in the morning to check out my mail and all when suddenly the HD crashed and died. Trying to revive it didn't work so I went looking for a new HD, wich is hard because my system is from 1999 and new HD's won't be recognized. The same evening when I gave it up my doorbell rang and guess what... My neighbour stood there with another pc and asked me if I could use it  Is it faith? Or just coincidence? (I don't believe in coincidence though) rofl weird how things can go |

well most like;y he/she saw you through a window or something, or maybe they did it so you could purchase their computer.
but besides that it is weird like from the twilight zone (plays the music). |

In my book that's just how things go down. I don't believe in coincidence either, I'm a evidence kinda guy.
More like lucky IMO. What kind of system was it? I'm interested to know also, because if we're talking brand new AMD 64, Gig of ram kinda machine, then I'm thinking, damn, gotta love those neighbors. Otherwise, he'd still be kinda so/so in my book  Panda |

Sounds really lucky. Perhaps it was just coincidence, or that s/he's a generous neighbour. After you mentioned what kind of PC broke down, I'm feeling a bit more apprehensive about what may happen to my old laptop (64MB RAM, Pentium MMX...and can handle Windows 98 and/or Me).

That is extremely lucky. I'm sure it was just coincidence. Don't you love it when things like that happen? As weird as it seems, it's a cool feeling.

thats some real luck, but atleast it came at the right time...or maybe they were getting rid of it and knew you did stuff with computers and figured you could do something with it..i guess all you really can do is be happy it happened
