My computer sucks!!!

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:

Have you tried to reinstall windows (get the computer back to factory settings)?

I did that with my niece's laptop and it was (almost) as good as new. It was certainly faster and didn't freeze any more.

If you need any help with it let me know :)

Or maybe, as a first step, install the program called C Cleaner and let it clean up your computer.

Oh no! I am very sorry about your computer!

That's very soothing actually. Pretty words with a lot of weight.

Computers suck because they suck you into a world of tech, then throw way more tech at you than your current model can handle then they make you rob a bank to upgrade and then they throw way more tech at you than ... well you know. It seems these days its already obsolete by the time it hits the shelves.

I hate my computer. I can't live without it. Hope you get a good one. :D
