Comp go boom.

Okay. So, my luck with computers? Not so great this year, apparently.

I've been having trouble with my computer on restart for awhile lately, sometimes taking over an hour to get it to start up again after it had been turned off or restarted. No idea why, although I'd tried everything I could think of and the AH could think of to get it to Stop Doing That, finally giving up and just leaving it on full-time. And then last night it decided to do a Windows Update and restarted itself, and I couldn't get it to restart properly, even though I tried for over 2 hours. I abandoned it, AH couldn't get it to work, and now, joy of joys, it's off to Future Shop to get fixed, which will take God knows how long, and no idea if the stuff I wasn't able to back up or save is going to be retrievable.

Awesome.

So I'm gonna be a little more random lately, since I'll have to be sharing the AH's computer with him. And he's got that whole silly 'doing a PHD' thing that goes and takes up time. Honestly, what kind of an excuse is that for actually needing the computer? PFFT! I have porn to write!

Not. A. Happy. Jay.

I am SO sorry, baby. That is no no no fun. I am glad it's at the Computer Doctor though and hopefully it will be fixed quickly! *kisses*

Thank goodness the AH at least has a computer and I can use that, but still! NOT amused. I tend to get really irrationally annoyed when technology fails me. Sounds like it might not take too long though... I hope they can make it all better. *blows kisses back*

I definitely suggest getting a Mac.

I had bad luck when I tried to get a Mac--tha's what I had before this particular computer. It's got a 3 year warranty, even though we're having to pay some, so we'll have it for awhile yet, it's just a massive pain in my ass. But if I ever get a laptop, it'll likely be a Mac. They make good systems.

Yeah, they sure do. They seem to be a lot less likely to crash and have software problems than Windows. I love my eMac, i was astounded at how much easier it is to use that my mum's old Pentium.

oh yeah sharing anything with someone doing a PHD (like say, a house) is no fucking fun for long stretches of time.

let alone a computer.
