My computer often doesn't boot properly and goes onto an endlessly repetitive screen, black background, white text, talking about ethernet or etherware, then it repeats ad infinitum, any ideas?

Your computer speaks Latin to you?

I've an idea:

Get it fixed.

Seriously though, I've never had that happen to me. I'd maybe consult one of those computer repair guys.

Have you thought about replacing, or at least checking, your ethernet card a/o port?

It is probably a bug in the startup script. You might have to reinstall your OS.

Maybe it's been too long since you made sacrifice to the gods of Microsoft...

Sooo....
Would that sacrifice be in blood, or money?

Payments to microsoft can be made in checks, credit cards, or your soul.

We used to joke that every edition of Windows came with an extra button on the startup screen, known as the "add cash" button. As far as I know, Microsoft already has all our souls.

What else did you think the "tab" button was for.

Nah, some of us shelled out for a computer that would actually work...
