So for the past week I have been tempted like 1 thousand times
to chuck this thing (this thing being any of the 4 computers that find themselves in our house)
out a 20 story window and head straight for Walmart to pick up a truckload of college ruled spiral notebooks and a pack of pens!!!!
Seriously, the crap these things are putting me through makes me seriously re-consider their value.
If only I didn't LOVE to print!!!!
My lap top no longer likes to use it's own monitor and has now become a permanent fixture attached to a different monitor. It does access the internet for email and blogging and random downloads but if you want to use any other program it will insist on its mothers grave that a firewall is preventing it from accessing the internet.
Matt's old lap top has a hard time waking up, refuses to print PDF files, and doesn't really feel like opening up Microsoft word any longer, so it just doesn't. It is missing its DVD drive, and randomly decides that it doesn't use the internet any more also.
Matt's new work lap top doesn't like graphics, networking, or internet at ALL - and is gradually shutting down all options to access any of those features. Matt keeps trying to outsmart it but I know it is really just stringing him along while I plays out its complex and evil scheme to leave us stranded in an e-dessert.
Last but not least is the really old desk top that was demoted years ago to being a "kids computer". It really isn't that bad - except that Alex often has a hard time leaving that seat to do her business, and sorting through the disarray of barbie, polly pockets, and I SPY Jr. stuff to find that they've hidden the internet access link in some random old file of college term papers - well, I guess I just really cringe at the thought of that.
Can I do it?
Will I do it?
I have actually willingly survived for many weeks with zoo tycoon.
And, I would never have to worry about free wi-fi -
I can use my notebook anywhere, but, can it print?
That my friend is why I swear by Mac. He is my best friend, well sort of, but really He's the Bomb! HE never leaves me in a lurch and he always willingly obliges to my many requests. You should consider Him the next time you go computer shopping!
