Isn’t life annoying sometimes? This laptop really has reached it’s limit for the things I make it do. It’s crashing at least twice a day, needs restarting every couple of hours, frequently gives me messages about not having enough memory and other things. It has a CD-rom and a floppy disk drive but you can only put one in at once and it’s such a chore to change them I basically live with the floppy disk drive in.

Two metres away from me I have a lovely new computer. It has a 30GB harddisk, 128MBs of RAM, runs Windows ME (Don’t care what anyone says, I think it’s great ^_~), is lovely and fast, has both a floppy disk drive and a cd-rom drive as well as a snazzy button below the on button which you press in an emergency and it restarts. It also operates my webcam.

But I can’t get to it. Which is annoying the hell out of me! It’s got to the stage now I can barely open Petz. Sometimes it won’t open at all, other times it opens for a bit only to crash and lose all the things I’ve done. Gah!

I could rant about this for hours ^_~ Also, I preordered SIMS Unleashed, so I got it as soon as it came out in the UK. You know, there’s nothing more frustrating than getting a new computer game and then not being able to play it! Well actually there is, but that’s beside the point…

It works on my new computer, I’ve installed it on said computer and I’ve managed to play it for about an hour in total. Oh yes, and a number of months ago this laptop developed a highly annoying habbit of frequently beeping at me for no reason. So I had to resort to turning the sound off. I’ve been working without sound for months…

Also, have you noticed how about 2/3rds of internet surfers/website makers seem to use 1024×768 these days? This laptop has the most AWFUL graphics card. Apart from the quality of my colours being awful (some blues looking grey, bright colours looking dull..etc) it has two screen res. 640×480 and 800×600. So many layouts only work in 1024×768 these days, which is really annoying. Plus when I used my old computer I used 1024×768 res. The new computer, on the other hand works in a range of screen res’s. Including 1024×768 ^_~

On a lighter note my wheelchair did arrive yesterday! It’s very smart..I can’t use it outdoors yet (I have to have a driving lesson and such first =P) but I’m no-where near confident enough to want to use it outside yet anyway.

Ok, I’m done ^_~ *hears sighs of relief* I’m impressed you got this far…
