The experiences and exploits of a college grad trying to make it in the "real world:" leaving school and friends in New England, moving south, and living with her boyfriend. Watch as I pretend to be an adult.
I swear- I have a retarded computer. I'm sorry, that's not politically correct. I have a mentally handicapped computer.
Ever since I bought that piece of crap it has been one thing after another.
Cracked plastic around the screen. A power cord jack that gave me problems at least half a dozen times. A corrupted hard drive. A broken hinge.
One. Fricken. Problem. After. Another.
A few days ago it started overheating and powering down randomly. I found I could baby it along, but had to keep it over an external fan to keep it cool. On the advice of a friend I used a can of compressed air to try and blow some of the dust out. It worked pretty well, and I got out a lot of dust. Unfortunately, now, when I try to boot up, it says either "operating system not found," or just cycles through the boot up again and again without actually starting up. I'm assuming either the harddrive finally gave up and is crapping out with a whimper, or when I was playing with the can of compressed air I loosened one of connections and that's what's giving it fits.
ARGH! Stupid, cheap-assed, piece of crap laptop.
Why dost thou mock me so?
