Wake up put on the wireless Router, cables or something is faulty, move it round the house until its now balance out in the hall way with wires across the floor to the nearest plug socket, atlast get it working, but one touch and it dies!

My lap top had screen failure last year, so had a new one fitted, but harddrive was so full, had a new HD put in and upgraded to Windows 7. I forgot all my mame was on that old drive.

So get the old hardrive, plug in with a SATA to USB....its sadly screwed so lost everything.

So I go to get my old CD Roms which had stuff on....they don't work, and my CD/DVD drive on my laptop then stops working.

Go online try to download some, computer gets malware. (spend a while having to sort it out)

Try getting mame for my tablet, get that look for roms get a warning that the tablet may be infected with a virus. (spend time then getting some software to check and clean it...thankfully it was just a false alarm).

My wife goes out this evening, atlast I think right I plug in the Xbox 360 and play some of the games I've yet to try. Put GTA4 in, half way through the intro......the xbox freezes and dies.

Arrrrrgggghhhh. Talk about being denied at everyturn for a bit of gaming, I dare not turn a cab on today thats for sure, think I'll just watch a DVD instead.

gutted. that's some bad luck. and I thought I had a bad day.
I had a full day tattoo cancel on me so stayed home and decided to do some work in my arcade.
thought I'd turn a couple of cabs on while I was in there and the first one (my hori Pony) the monitor died almost instantly!
