sad to say goodbye

Current mood: despondent

My poor little computer is dying. It's been a slow, painful death, and it hurts me to watch its demise. The red screen is making me blind. The slow speed infuriates me. The fact that the Windows application doesn't respond to my camera software upsets me. Now... the operating system was refusing to start up. It's up now, but I don't want to deal with this anymore. So I've made a serious decision.

It's time to get a new computer.

I'm toying with switching over to the other team. I think I'm going Mac. And, as Cute Neal says, "Once you go Mac, you never go back." I just want the least amount of hassle from any new technology I get. The stuff that has been breaking/dying is much too high maintenance for me. And I don't have to think too much about what options I want because there are only a few options in the Mac world. Choices make me anxious. I wish computers were more Communist. But not the Karl Marx kind of Communism; the Eastern European kind of Communist where it's really totalitarian and there is no choice.
