Reasons I Hate Computers...

I have come to the conclusion that I hate computers, specifically lap tops.

When I bought my last laptop, I got it from Best Buy. I spent $1100 on it. I had $1150 available on my credit card. It was vital that I buy it because my last laptop needed a new motherboard which was only $500 but the exact same laptop was on sale for $500. Like any good Polish girl, I upgraded. Then, they told me that I had to purchase my own back up CD, which came with my last computer, for $200. I didn't buy it. I was insulted. I raved about it.

Last summer, a year after the purchase, my computer cleared itself. It was a nightmare. Lucky, I had a lot of stuff on disc or thumb drive because I don't have a printer for my laptop and i print stuff on my dad's computer. Still, I lost all of my Sim games and a large chunck of writing, as well as all of the songs I had purchased off iTunes. My cousin, a computer genius, made a new back up CD for my and fixed the computer.

Saturday I was having a horrible morning. I sobbed a lot. I decided to check my e-mail, see if anyone had sent me something to cheer me up. I turned on my computer. It was doing the same damn thing as last year....

So, here I am, without having anything new backed up. I've lost three years of MP3's. I've lost two half written novels. The only copy I have of the one I'm editting is a hard copy. The real heart ache came when I realized that I had lsot three years worth of my reading list. The novels are still in my head, only they are better. The books on that list, I may never see them again.

The lesson: Save everything to a thumb drive or two...
