It would be so nice if, just once, myself and a computer could get along! Okay yes, I’ll admit, my laptop and I get along pretty well, all programs function, no errors that make me want to throw it out a window. While it does have it’s moments where I want to shake it (it’s turned itself on once, which apparently my IT friend says that brand does, and it periodically doesn’t like shutting itself off), we do get along. Other computers, never do I have any luck!

I do realise I’m talking about computers as if they’re people…. and suddenly I’ve forgotten where I was going with my point. (thinks)

Oh yes. So it’s not that I’m technoilliterate. Hell, I grew up using computers from our very first Texas Instrumenets, to our Commodore 64, to the Apples in elementary school, to our Mind computer… er, well you get the picture. So yes, I do know what I’m doing. I’ve even taken a Computing Science course, and am studying the processes and social effects of technology and the internet on our society!

Sorry, I keep running off on a tangent. Where was I?

Oh yes. Even my first computer didn’t like me! Granted, it did run on Windows ME (shudders), but still. I guess it did serve it’s time, but then it decided to stop working properly. No virus, no spyware, just didn’t listen.

I’m even using an eMac right now in our school’s computer lab, and while trying to access an mp3 of last week’s lecture for CMNS 253, it has frozen one of my firefox browser windows :'( It was even iTunes it was trying to open?! You can’t open a file for a program that was designed for you? Please? Open? Pwease?

Ah well. I guess I’ll wait until I get home.

And stop talking like a crazy person. Heh.

I’m not crazy. I swear.

…..

Okay, maybe a litte.
