If your motherboard ain’t happy, ain’t no one happy.
Get a damn Mac already.
Problem solved.

it cannot possibly be worse than my piece-of-poo Dell…

I have a Lenovo laptop, and LOVE it. Mr. Dizzy has a Dell laptop, and LOVES it. I have many friends who have Macs, and they swear by them. So there is good machines in any brand (but a bunch of lemons thrown in for good measure!) Good luck with the laptop, KJ. Hope you get fixed up soon! .-= Liz J in Central Illinois´s last blog ..2009: A Year In Review =-.

It’s not funny – at all – especially since my husband’s 2 1/2 year old Compaq just bit the dust. But I still giggled because YOU are funny. And I laugh in inappropriate situations.

I cannot believe I didn’t comment on this post when i first saw it. It must be the drugs I’m taking. Anyway. And first. I love you. I think you’re swell. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way ….

Computers have all these little things in them called transistors. Transistors are like light bulbs. They can and will burn out. Fail. In most systems, the only moving parts are the mechanisms associated with disks. Guess what normally fails. Disks. Because they have moving parts. BUT. And this is a big butt. But. Sorry. Electronics, whether with moving parts or not, fail. They burn out. Some sooner than others – some later. But they will ALL FAIL EVENTUALLY. Not IF. WHEN.

HP, at the electronic level, is no more or less reliable than any manufacturer out there. Including Apple. I’ll give you dollars to donuts that the elements that fail in HP systems (1 out of 7) aren’t even made by HP, but contracted out to another manufacturer.

If you are going to listen to your readers and consider an Apple – do it for considerations other than reliability of hardware. Do it for design. Do it for panache. Do it for the fact that Apple has a superior Operating System. (they do, by the way)

And so you know – I am a long time anti-Microsoft bigot and a Linux evangelist. That said, I have and absolutely LOVE my MacBook Pro. Her name is “Luscious”. Because she is.

My HP desktop just crashed too. We lost everything. *sigh*

My next computer will be a Mac.

My new year's resolution is to have LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY. So I can buy my friends things they need. And a villa in Tuscany where we can all spend the month of August. Yes. Hope HP coughs up a new laptop/motherboard/whatever will make your life easier! .-= Moose´s last blog ..Christmas at the Homestead =-.

I would like to see you perform this piece. Like some beat poetry where we snap and you wear a beret whilst beating the shit out of an HP. (Can I say 'shit' on your blog comments? I don't say it on my blog anymore and I like to curse elsewhere on the internet.) .-= Mocha´s last blog ..Teaching and Learning =-.
