Laptops Are Evil

Ok, so I went to see my dad's side of the family over christmas break. It was pretty hectic sometimes, but I'm really glad I went. I got to see Chronicles of Narnia, its a great movie, I highly recommend it. We got to the theatre late, but that only meant we missed the boring part where they set up the plot, and got there just as Mr. Tomnas entered the picture :P

 

SO I get home. Now, all of my teachers assigned work over vacation (well...many of them did.) It's the "you're going on vacation so you'll have plenty of time to do three projects and twelve pages of problems" syndrome. Unfortunately, I was going away lol. And when I got back I was too distracted by my new colored pencils to get any work done ;)

 

So I'm working on my lab report. My dad gave me a new laptop (well..."new". The thing runs on Windows 95 and thinks its 1988 ;) ). I thought I'd do my lab report on it, and hook it up to the printer (you know, so I can do my homework in bed. big mistake). The thing refused to print. WELL it printed SOMETHING, but it wasn't my lab report. You see, the thing must have thought it was simply hilarious to spit out about twelve pages with one line of nonsensical jibberish at the bottom :)

 

Ok, I think, so I'll just put a cd in the drive, save it to cd and print it on my computer. Yea. OK. The cd drive happens to be broken. Great. I find ONE floppy disk in my closet, the only one left in the house. I save it to the floppy though my pc doesn't have a floppy drive. I'll have to print it at school. When I get it to school, and try to print it, the disk is broken. It causes the computer to freeze up :P SO I take another disk home, and manage to get it on that disk. I finally get it to print YAY :D Of course, I get it to print the day after it's due :ph34r:

 

Now I'm finally done with the OTHER two projects, one a seven page chemistry report and one a simple english paper. And if I ever mention using that laptop again, somebody please smack me :)

 

Thank Gods it's friday. At some point I am thinking of writing an actual paper on Roman paganism (different then the things that have already been posted...well if I get around to actually writing it you'll see) that is if I can tear myself away from my colored pencils ;)

laptops are , of course , inherently evil .They are possessed by numerous Demons and Affrits, and cursed by the Awful Doom of very short battery life. Human brains are far superior , the only real defect is the lack of a windows based spell check when tired

Lol it's a miracle I have a laptop at ALL lol. Not that it will get much use.

 

I much prefer my PC actually. It does almost everything its supposed to (except for shutting down in a timely manner. but eh, its a quirk I guess.)

 

Cato, what did you do to the page?? That ad is a little big...

ah, laptops are evil, I remember one time I was playing soduku, or how ever you spell it, and right as i put in the last letter or what ever they are called, the thing shut down on me and I had to redo the whole thing, but it was a different one! Evil.....
