I've had some pretty serious hardware issues today. As in, I didn't have enough free space to even RUN defrag. Hours later, I'm back up, running disk cleanup, ordering a new laptop battery (LONG overdue) and trying to recover what is basically a lost 24, except for a call from a close friend, who basically saved the day for me.Talking yesterday with the guy from CompUSA, who didn't carry a laptop battery but was helpful anyway (Matthew at the Galleria location, btw, ask for him by name) and he said yeah, I could own a Mac, but it would be kinda like going to heaven, sitting on a cloud with wings and everything, but then I'd have nothing to DO. Theology in all things, folks.
More later on this evening, I hope. If you're the praying type, feel free.

Someone get George Soros to get BG a new computer or two. For the cause, you see. I'm kinda serious. If your rich and left of Bush, send this blogger a computer right away.
ReplyDeleteglad to see you back online. i missed you! (yeah, i know, it was only one day...)
ReplyDeleteI was a programer for years when (after the bubble burst and buried me and my family in the - sorry, I'll stop) I discovered I HATED computers. This went on for years, my hatred of computers.
ReplyDeleteSix months ago I got a Mac.
Everything's good now.
Just a bit of teasing. Hope it all works out and it doesn't turn out to be - like so many PC problems do - actual demonic possesion.
BG I also echo the earlier sentiments that I am glad that you are back online. Your issues are why I now own a mac book. I have a desktop as well that is a PC, but I use my mac more and more as I find how much better it is and not nearly as buggy as my PC but that might be an age thing, my PC is like a year old, the Mac is a few months old. anyway, just think about a Mac...
ReplyDeletewhat am I a Mac salesman (no, just a happy Mac owner)

Computer problems are the worst! Sorry to hear you are going through it. I think I must be the only person in the world who tried a Mac, and didn't like it. I was told it would never freeze, like a PC does, but mine did. I knew how to fix a PC when it froze, but was clueless about how to get the Mac going again. It became too frustrating for me, so I traded it in for a Dell laptop. I'm very happy with my little computer.

Sweetie, Ah Feeel Yoar Payne. When my 'puterbox gets all jiggy on me, I just put my hands down my pants and cry. It's awful.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to ya, and remember, a little chop makes the boat go faster.
Cheers, The Runt
BG - Sorry to hear about your problems - there is not a day that goes by where I do not curse my work PC (I call him Beelzebub) - and I sigh a deep sigh of relief when I get home to my Mac. (all of 'em have names related to Laurie Anderson songs or Spalding Gray monologues. I'm odd that way.)
ReplyDeleteNot that I'm biased. No pressure.
