i love (hate) computers. They make life so much easier (difficult).......
In fact, just today i had the fortune (bad luck) to have my trusty (biggest pos on earth) Dell D610 die on me for the first (6th) time ever. Its lasted so long (been having problems since day 1), and I really don't mind (LIES!) the fact that the dvd drive stopped opening, that for 3 years I couldn't always view this website, that it became unbearably slow without me even looking at virus-filled websites (porn), that the cd-burning software wouldn't always launch and would freeze up the screen when i tried to use it, and that finally, the computer just wouldnt recognize the hard drive this morning after i turned it off yesterday.
God I love (i have absolute disdain for) computers! All of this wonderful (useless) technology sure does make a typewriter seem archaic (reliable).
Computers are so fantastic that when my IT guy tried to replace (destroy) this laptop with a new (new-to-me) Dell D610, the docking station broke (Suprising!) and it took him over an hour to make the monitor light up.
Did i mention that i lost about a weeks worth of articles I'd written thanks to my amazing (unbelievably lame) Dell D610 computer? No? Well let me tell you all about it then.
I had photos from tech shoots (difficult to replace), half-finished thoughts for stories that are due next week (my thoughts are difficult to replace as well) and hours spent behind my desk writing, that are now gone forever and that i'll never get back (damn you Dell!).
But am i bitter (suicidal)? Of course (I am) not. No, really I'm just fine (I'd like to roundhouse kick the screen of my new-to-me laptop even though its done me no harm. Yet!).
