So Wednesday, I'm in the middle if a conversation with my wife and my iPhone 4 just shuts off and it resets itself and it goes directly to the iOS 6 screen like I just bought it and it needs to be configured. WTF I say and it tells me to connect it to iTunes. It will have to wait until I get home.

Get home and plug it in to the computer. All it does is keep resetting itself, it won't even go to the iOS 6 screen now. To hell with it, I'll try tomorrow.

I get up the next morning, fire up the computer to check out some answers of what is happening.

Computer starts up, is running reeeeeallly slow, and I get the blue screen of death. Computer resets, says it can't start windows and to do a system restore. Do the system restore, it gets halfway done and it gives me an error and says it can't finish System Restore. Computer resets and says it now needs a boot disk. WTF my computer never came with one.

So, I call Toshiba and get "Jerry" from Bangladesh. Basically, I can download the boot disk and burn it to disk from another computer. Well that doesn't help if the computer is dead. So now my only issue is that I have to buy a $30 reboot disk.

This sucks. I hope the reboot disk helps and I hope I can afford a new phone.
