Computer Wars
The worst thing that has happened to us here at home since Dad has been working in New Orleans are continual computer problems. Mine is doing ok, excepting my video card is about to "bork", as Kate always says. Mom and Dad's PC has not been as stable, however. The old hard drive, after having to be babied to turn on for months, finally died. So Dad bought a new hard drive and tried to put the computer together on a visit home. He didn't finished, had problems with Windows x64 Professional, and so forth.
More computer issues. More glitches. And now the "new" hard drive on the rent's PC is also borking. I don't think it's ever been right. But the reason this REALLY sucks is that Mom ends up using MY computer. Now, I love to share stuff...
...BUT NOT MY PC. I mean, it seems like, though I'm certain it's unintentional, that she wants to use my computer at the most inoppportune times. Granted, maybe this is because I am frequently ON the computer, making no particular time very good. Then there is the continual promise that "I'm almost done."
Yeeeah, right. And I'm almost 6 feet. :P
And now that school will be starting again, and I'm getting a new job starting Wednesday, I'm REALLY going to need my computer. Let's hope I have more success sharing it as necessary when this all comes to pass. And let's hope the school board gives me a laptop like I think they are going to.
And soon. :)
Computer wars are not fun. And when I live under my parent's roof, I'm not destined to win them anyway!

Present Day: A land far, far away..
Heh. Ya forgot the beginning line.
;)
Don't forget to get an optic mouse and moose-pad for the laptop. The stick control sucks.
Failing that, do you know anyone handy with pc hardware? You could put together a powerful machine for less than if you got it straight from a company.
Of course, the warranty thing may prove an issue..do fill us in on yer classes. ;)
