Boingo crisis

[21]

So the last couple times I opened my laptop in an airport, it went to the dreaded Blue Screen. I had the system on Standby, woke it up....blue. The only way I can bring it back to life is to do a system restore.

This has happened in two different airports, and both were Boingo hot spots.

Anyone else have this problem, and is there a solution??

Actually, I was worried it sounded like a Viagra ad.

Dead Man's Party is a great song.

As is "Goodbye, Goodbye" from Fast Times.

Weird Science is another great one from another great movie.

Stop flying thru O'Hare.

Problem solved.

Look what I just found:

EDIT: Oh crap, I just saw "boing" & "airport" mentioned in the blurb & assumed it was relevant. Sorry.

Problem solved.

Doesn't happen at O'hare. Worse: It happens at LaGuardia. Happened in Salt Lake City. And Dulles. I can avoid SLC and Dulles, but can't skip LaGuardia.

I'm convinved there's a Boingo virus or software glitch.

I've had issues at LaGuardia and nowhere else.
I finally got it worked out one night at LaGuardia - can't remember what I did, though - just as they were calling my flight.

I had never even heard of Boingo until I flew thru O'Hare a couple of months ago. Didn't realize it was that mainstream.

When I was Only a Lad, I had to say Goodbye, Goodbye to my computer when some Little Girls (my nieces) wanted to be Controller of my laptop computer. I was On the Outside of the technology knowledge world (it's all Weird Science to me), but so were they; What You See is What You Get, I suppose. Kids have a Nasty Habit of breaking things, even if they're dealing with a Perfect System.

Now, long after the Dead Man's Party for that Imposter of a quality computer, I have a much better one, thanks to Capitalism. Now, instead of a working computer being cause for celebration, having the use of my laptop means it's Just Another Day.

They were great in Back to School. Other than that, I got nuthin', but I love 21s lipstick on a pig.

I have seen them twice in concert, and they were fantastic.

Funny how in the 80s certain bands just dominated the West Coast, but once you went east, they were almost like novelty bands.

I remember hearing that Depeche Mode sold out two shows at the LA Coliseum in 90 minutes. That is insane.

I didn't have a problem with it in Atlanta a week ago. It worked fine for me. Maybe try downloading it again?

Don't suppose you remember what the BSOD said caused the crash (which file, error type, the technical info at the bottom of the page), perchance?

Am connected to Boingo as I write this, in Ottawa. However: I'm on a Mac. No BSOD here.
