So I am declaring my desktop computer unusable today. Too many things just pissing me off and annoying me with it. Some things may be fixed with an OS reload. Many others not so much.
Today it wouldn't burn a DVD so I attempted to update the firmware for the DVD drive which turned the DVD burner drive into a brick. So even if I wanted to reload the OS I'd have open it up and put a new drive in...
Then the computer has the problem of not wanting to turn on. I press power and wait anywhere from three minutes to thirty minutes for the damn thing to power up. No I don't mean waiting for the OS to load. I mean waiting for lights to come on and for it to POST...
So I'm thinking new computer this weekend...

Posted by: dusty on October 16, 2007 08:40 PMAs tempting as it is I'm already finding it difficult to justify spending 400-500 to build a new box. Let alone the 600 to 2500 hundred it would be for a Mac of some sort. As much as I'd love to have one I'm just too cheap.
