Geek gone blind.

Today, my "big" friend, college geek and Microsoft luna..er..fanatic was in very bad shape. No not talking about his fat deposits. Let me clue ya. He read the textbook for today's unit test, he wrote his test well, he looked fresh for all the 8 periods, he didn't sleep on the desk,... Certainly, something was wrong with him today. The answer didn't need any questions to be asked. He was lamenting on the terrible thing that happened to him that would cripple him to his current state for almost a week, to anyone that would listen or not listen too. And then the truth was upon us.

Yesterday, during one of his usual 15 minute email check which would eventually add another 100 or so MegaBytes at the end of the day to his Outlook folder, he said he heard a weird rattling sound inside his monitor and then the monitor has gone black, like a creature that has breathed its last rattling breath.

Though some didn't know how to react, most of us did the right thing to cheer him by laughing. But unfortunately, we didn't know he didn't want to be laughed 'at' :-)

More about him in later entries.
