Computers...

[FireWire]

I love computers - I'm not gonna lie about my love for them. However, there are times when I just wanna kick the living shit out of them.

I'm posting this out of frustration... I wouldn't never thought that a computer could stir up such STRONG human emotions. A piece of metal with some plastic on it has just made me the maddest I have ever been.

Is there something I can break right now? I need to release that anger... or otherwise it will turn into stress and the rest of my week will be ruined.

OMFG OK GET THIS - I'm formatting RIGHT NOW and my power in the whole house went out. Now my format is going on my batter backup and who knows how long the battery will last... and this is the second format of the day cause something totally fucked up happened after the first one (because of which I started this thread).

I'm always getting fustrated with computers. We're so dependent of them and technology. They do offer a lot of benefits but god damn when they don't work I just want to throw it out the window.

unless your life/career is in the computer industry..... NEVER EVER rely on ANY computer system out there plain and simple...

My Friend and I had races on which Mac would go down the three flights of Stairs the fastest.

On conclusion of this experiment we discovered that they are really quite resistant to shock as only the RAM popped out.

So we chucked them down again.

I don't play games.

The problem was that I decided to participate in the Microsoft Windows Vista RC2 tester feedback program prior to their new OS's final release version - and little did I know only until AFTER I upgraded... was that my external recording interface and Serato Scratch stopped working (due to the currently incompatible drivers from those manufacturers).

I couldn't stand not being able to record DJ mixes and throwing down phat beats - so I decided to format and go back to XP Pro... and that's where all kinds of shit went wrong. I have a very complex setup with SATA and IDE drives and a lot of other hardware, that I got confused, and messed up the installation by installing the system/boot files on an IDE drive that I wasn't using when I had to install it to the primary SATA drive. After realizing that this was a big mistake which had no way of getting fixed - I decided to format again... and then the power in my block cut out. In the midst of the format. The format got corrupted and when the power came back on, I had to re-format again for the 3rd time in one day, haha.

And that's my story of why I felt like smashing shit today.

I guess I can say I learn some patience today. I could've literally gone smashing things cause of how much anger I had at this whole situation, but I kept myself cool and waited for things to happen as they happened. Can't blame computers for just causing bad emotions... they can teach us good emotions too.

I wonder why anyone would do that.

Why even give feedback to companies that develop closed-source proprietary technologies? They won't listen to you anyway so it's of no use at all...
