My computer sucks!!!

[dragonyphoenix]

Kerkevick sent me this link to brighten up my day, which does need brightening (although this did help). I now know why I avoided getting home Internet for so long: my computer sucks! It crashed (again) and I can barely get Internet at home, which means I'm back at the library. This happened when I had dial-up Internet but I figured it was the computer and the dial-up (because I needed an external modem), but no. It's the computer. Time for a new one.

Here's the happy link:

I had a SH Dell laptop for years and my current laptop is a Dell. It's about 4 years and still going strong though it needs a new battery and maybe a bit more ram.

And suddenly I'm having no trouble with Internet at home. I've already ordered the Dell, which is just as well. I'm thinking of trying telecommuting and the Internet connection on this laptop is just too fragile to make that work.

I'm still feeling stressed, which is why I'm going with the Evil Binky icon. ;-)

Lol. I hear you. I hate having to play computer detective - fixing or buying.

Telecommuting is great - long as you're a bit disciplined. You do miss the people contact sometimes.

Evil Binky is just so durn cute. :D

I don't think I'll have trouble with the discipline. And I always felt like an outsider at my jobs. It might actually be easier not to see other people leaving me out of their cliques.

I adore Evil Binky. He's from a web comic called ubersoft.

I've always been happy to work by myself but I've also learnt to like working with others.

I know what you mean about cliques. I really like working from home. You actually get more done in less time. Save heaps in travel costs too.

The only bother is friends who think you no longer are working or something and expect you to volunteer to do stuff because they can't because they are at work! Lol.

Hope the new Dell does the job for you. :D

And travel time, which is even more important at least to me.

Thanks. I'm starting to fell any other computer will be better than this one. *sigh*

I read that as 'time travel' and thought 'damn, that girl has a Tardis' and was immediately jealous!

*laughs* I'd be jealous too if I had a Tardis! ;-)
