Oh laptop, how I hate thee! Let me count the ways:
- The way the “t” fell off your front cover, making you a “Gaeway” laptop
- The way some of your keys don’t work every now and again, forcing me to hit them a few times to get them to work
- The way you somehow ruined not one, but two mice, which no no longer work in any computer
- The way you were not Windows Vista compatible when I bought you, even though you came pre-installed with Vista
- The way you always used to get blue screens (though, to be fair, this seems to be fixed now, after a year or so)
- The way you occasionally randomly shut down for no reason when you are left alone
- The way you take 48+ hours for virus scan
- The way you are unable to do anything while virus scanning
- The way you take ten minutes to start up or shut down
- The way I had to re-flash your bios that one time, just to make you work like a regular computer (see #5)
- The way your tiny hard drive is 98% full
- The way you somehow destroyed your own power cord
Between #3 and #12, I’m kind of worried the poor thing has Lupus. In regards to #6, and maybe the whole list in general, I think that the little devil just wants attention. Hey laptop! That’s not the kind of attention you want, buddy!
I have to say, though my laptop is just one model newer, it has way less problems! Mine does #6 whenever it wants, not just when it’s left alone. It stopped doing it for about a year, but has started up again (even after adding RAM). Still, it’s not terrible…
