Computer Technology: Great when it works, stinks when it doesn’t

Published by dfallis at 10:04 am under Humor, Internet, Living Edit This

My 3-year-old computer is more trouble, with none of the benefits, than my 3-year-old granddaughter, although it cannot wart me as she is doing now. Needless to say, Dora the Explorer is not on at the moment, so that’s why she is ranting about things, but my computer…well, that’s another rant altogether.

It started having it’s fit about a month ago. There were no initial symptoms, just the usual IE fits, update me please, and a few strange blinks, quirks and such, but nothing vital or AI threatening, or so I thought until we added a slave drive, which gave an antiquated piece of equipment more reason vetch, bitch, and shut down. The slave only added 30 G to the computer and there was no reason to believe that it would not accept the new drive, because I didn’t install it, my son-in-law did.

That brings us up to Sunday when the thing started shutting down after (initial installation of the slave) having been on approximately 15-30 minutes. This morning, it was less, it started up, whirred, spit, went through it’s usual dissatisfaction, and all came up well until the blue screen, the screen of death, the screen that any computer user knows is not as frightening today as it was 15-years-ago. Today, that screen that everyone fears is just one more reason to shut it off, walk away, get over the feeling that your computer is really trying to cause a nervous breakdown, and use your husband’s laptop that only requires your patients to type a blog.

So while you folks read this and whatever else gives you pleasure today, I will be
tech-snooping to find the cause of my computer’s wrath. Have a great day I know I will…If I don’t find anything today, all suggestions are welcomed…LOL…even if I do, please feel free to comment with any suggestions, or your own computer rants!
