Computer suckage
May. 21st, 2008 11:23 amOnce I have an income again I am getting a new PC asap. The one I have has a FULL hard drive, and the fans make a hideous noise whenever I turn the thing on.
And the laptop needs a makeover too. The power cable has a loose connection somewhere so it randomly drops to battery power - which sucks if I don't notice because the battery is also crapped and will only last 20 minutes/half an hour before the whole thing shuts down. Sometimes I have to tinker with the cord for quite a while before it stays connected to the power and recharges the battery.
*sigh*

i want a new laptop though, and when i get one i'm never getting one again that has the power cord on the back corner of it. it's gotta be on the side. i think mine broke because i sit with the laptop on my knees, when it's on the knee, it jiggles the power cord. so yeah.
