The right teacher made all the difference

As I had blogged about before, Aikidomayland took a one day intense class with a 'photography teacher' that was an unmitigated disaster.

I bullied him (yes, bullied) into not giving up and signing up with the photo instructor I had earlier this year. He did, and was wary about going to the point he wasn't really sleeping well.

After he came back from the class with Greg, he was like a happy wriggly puppy. Not only is he re-enthused, he is putting into practice lesson #1.

You see, it wasn't so much he is touchy because of criticism of photography ability levels, but because the MISTAKE was rude, snotty, played favorites, and hadn't a clue as to how to run a class.

But I am just grateful that Aikidomayland is well and truly enthused by something new. First new thing he has had any really get up and go interest in since Pop died.

I know it's nothing but sugar

But one piece Rock Candy is a childhood sweet that I have maybe once a year.

EUREKA! And not the TV series on SyFy

After many diagnostic tests, removing software, updating chip set drivers, rolling them back, contacting Acer Support, contacting AMD support, a solution has been found!

Turns out that the "GSOD" (grey screen of death) is a well known, well documented problem. I got solution from AMD/ATi, and passed it along to Acer Support.

Guess what? It's a fault with the chipset, and it's a KNOWN ISSUE (got that from S.I. Acer Tech support himself!) with the touch screen all in ones. They could have saved me months of frustration, hours of lost work by just telling me.

So, getting my AcerRacer refitted sooner than I had expected, will get that up and running. Then pack the unit with the buggy chipset back into it's original packaging, contact Acer and have a courier pick it up.

Oh, did I mention it's under warranty, and all of this, except my refitting older laptop with new hard drive, is on their dime?

So, in the process of shifting things from one external hd, to make a disc image back up of the units' drive, in case they have to replace the entire unit. Oh joy.
