Computer woes...

Shhh... Quiet...

lol. well, for now, bmilde rhas to uhh use my computer! grrr oh well

It's fixed and up and running again!

this sounds stupid, but it really works...

if you talk to your computers like you do to people, & if you don't call them "stupid computer" within their hearing, they'll never give you problems. i speak from experience - right now i'm on a year-old laptop that has been dropped at least 4 times, i also have a 4-year-old laptop that's in wonderful condition & an 8?-year-old PC that (if i kept my mother off it) would work great.

we've had a lot of Mac-pushing, so y'all asked for this...

I HAVE THE WORLD'S BEST LAPTOP!
but actually now it's more of a floor-top...

I know it souds weird too, but listen to arynetrek, it works.

My computer screen has an annoying habbit. It whistles.

My office partner (who's office is actually 2 rooms away) has a monitor that periodically gives off a high-pitched whine.....EEEEEYAAAYYYYEEEEEYAAAAAA

It's awful!

'Invest'? Yeah right.
You know the old joke 'Best way to accelerate a Mac: 9.8m/secon squared'? I told it to a 6th form (that's year 12, 17 years old) Physics student, he drew the literal meaning and actually threw his Mac out the window. He told me 'Thanks for that tip you gave me. It's going so fast I can't even see it going because the photon display microprocessor can't handle the masses of input at the speed which increased direcly proportionate to the influx of positive electrons during the gravitationally-excited movement produced when the ' yada yada yada. He seriously thought it was real. Some people are just too stupid. Lusers.

For future referance, we don't deal too kindly with mac bashers around here.

Mac rules.

Macs still suck. They haven't had a decent technological advance since the Apple II. And iMacs are modelled after a smegging IRON, dammit. (see PC World, Dumb Terminal)

'Mac rules'. You ever played AOK?
8 ) All hail, king ...

Grow up. Honestly, is it really that important for you to bash a computer. God, let others have their own opinions!!! I see any more of this I'm banning you for 24 hours.

It means that I rule your a$$. Just kidding....that wasn't very nice of me and I'm not setting a very good example. Let me introduce myself, I'm anduin, admin@Entmoot, and owner of a beloved G3. Since no one can actually prove to me that either machine is better than the other, I would prefer that neither be bashed. I don't want to see "Macs suck" or "PCs suck" any more! "PCs rule" or Macs rule" is acceptable.....see Noldo's above post for the correct usage.

Despite the total illogicality of it, I'll agree with it.
How about Amigas? They're great. In fact, I'm using one right now. As a doorstop. *cough*
So...
8 ) All hail...

My current g3 is the only Mac (of four that my wife and I have had) that has behaved very well. (So why keep buying? Kept getting great(??!) second-hand deals.)

I sympathize with ya'll's problems. I am still having them, despite the fact that I have been very polite to this dratted electronic paperweight. If I have not been posting much lately, chalk it up to my own computer woes. First the PC, then the phone lines. Between the two of them, I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that having a computer isn't worth the hassle. If it keeps up with this one, I think that we will all go out into the backyard together, so that Mr. PC can be properly introduced to Mr. Pickaxe.
I swear, sometimes the thought becomes extremely attractive.
Just as an afterthought for anyone who has ever been tempted to buy a computer from the Home Shopping Network. Their computers are total garbage and you will be simply throwing money away. Spend it on a good computer. Learn from my example
Peace to you all and thank you for your patience with my slowness recently.

Personally I'm not too fond of Macs, although it's true I really haven't used any My main problem with them is that they aren't compatible with anything and it's a pain in the neck
