Ever just wish your tear ducts weren't burnt out so you could cry? So far this summer, I've had to replace pretty much every little thing on my computer, or fix stuff in my computer, or get stuff off my computer, or...just...graaaaaah. New memory, new motherboard, new hard drive, new graphics card, new back panel for the casing because the memory card wouldn't fit in my case because the motherboard wasn't put in properly, new monitor because my old one was crappy and the new graphics cards succeeded in inadvertently putting it down, new printer, new scanner, new tablet, new frigging computer CHAIR and DESK for crying out loud, new Windows, new ELECTRIC OUTLET, new USB ports, new DVD player, new microphone, new speakers, a new sound card, new anti-virus programs... I still have my keyboard. The same one that I need to slam the space key every time I want to make two separate words. In the end, I have a new computer. But not really. Every time I fixed something, something else would go wrong, whether it was due to its age or something just decided to not work and piss me off instead. So now, when I turn the damn thing on, I find myself praying to whatever computer gods are out there that the damn thing will just WORK FOR ONCE. I refused to just ditch the ol' girl, so I've instead done everything in my power to keep her on her legs. From bugs to full-blown viruses, I'm now on a first-name-let's-be-drinking-buddies basis with my computer FIXITFIXITFIXIT chick, and have also learned so much about computers and coding and wiring and STUFF in the process...I really don't need a fix-it person anymore, eh. But to hell with doing it myself since she's hot. <---892 (that works in two ways. THE GAME IS STILL AFOOT!!!11one) ...so. Got any awesome computer-tardism related stories to tell ol' Uncle Creejak? |

Holy cow! You sure have been through quite a journey with your computer! I can't say I've had anything that bad, but the closest I got to ultimate frustration with mine was getting the files/permissions on mine to play DVDs. And reloadings of Vista and Linux to accomplish that (and I've still not completed the Linux bootloader installation). But you're totally got me beat. |
