WELL, THIS WENT ABOUT AS WELL EXPECTED...

Actually, no, not really.  Can you say FUCKING CLUSTER FUCKING FUCK???

As a baseline here I would rather wake up stuck to Ed Asner than deal with a PC.  Oh, yeah, by the way, Ed's dead.  Not a pretty picture.  I am a Mac person.  They're just so much easier.  And user friendly.  Or at least not as ass backwards as a PC.  My Mac laptop died about a year and half ago and I started using a PC that was thankfully given to me by a dear friend.  I was lost on this thing.  Totally clueless.  Not a damned thing on it made sense to me.  I somehow managed to mangle my way through it though.  Thank the goddess for Valium and tequila!  Yeah, but wait, it gets worse.

Much to my dismay I was using an OS called Windows XP.  Well that poor thing has an expiration date that goes tits up in about a week so I unhappily and unwillingly let Sea Squirt "update" me to Windows 7.  That's when all hell broke loose.  My computer freaked out.  Seems it didn't like Windows 7 in the least bit.  Stuff disappeared.  Stuff was lost.  Could be on Mars as far as I know.  Then there is that "conflict" with the graphics disc.  I don't even know what the hell a graphics disc is but mine had a melt down.  Big time!  I had only two options, a monitor display with pixels so damned big that they resembled postage stamps or a display that was about the size of a postage stamp.  NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!!!  I quickly descended into a dark well of dis pare and grey rage.  I threw things.  I cussed like a long shore man.  Hell, I actually bit a cinder block in half.  Yeah, it was that bad.  I sent some of the pieces back to Bill Gates with a note that said I hoped that he choked on a turkey!!!  From the other end.

Luckily, I have my own private computer geek squad.  He is a genius.  Sort of like Grandpa Munster down in the laboratory.  Lots of interesting things down there in the dark.  All he really needs is a trap door in the living room and some dry ice to give the whole thing just the right effect.  He not only got "Betsy" back up and running but actually usable.  Well, at least to my definition of usable.  C'mon, you know me.  Email, Google and porn.  Not necessarily in that order though.

Luckily I am up to my tits in flash disks so I managed to back up just about everything before the upgrade so over the next 6 or 7 years I may actually be able to re-install all of the shit that Microsoft has managed to wipe in this "upgrade".  And then I am going to have "upgrade" to Windows 8.  Oh, lord, I just wanna die...

Bill, I hate you and all of your evil minions that live in the cave with you!
