Are you keeping score? My Ring, The Flu, My Back, Peter Boil … and then THIS.
I recently received an email.
Subject – The Saddest Song in the World but E-mailer did not send an attachment.So E-mailer sent another message with the subject OOPS and the $#@ song… I’ll call him idiot at moron dot com.I could not open my usual server because of the size of this file, so I had to go another website to delete this.
I was waiting for OOPs to download and PFFFFFT! ...My system croaked. Reboot, reboot, reboot.. PFFFFFT....For someone that writes online and has as many email business addys as I do, this is NOT good.
For me, my computer is my livelihood, a communications necessity and sadly I cannot exist very well without it. For others, it's a play-toy, a cyberspace dalliance, something to amuse themselves, and infuriate others.
I detest chain letters, “send this to your five best friends”… “this is sooo cute” - petitions, ten original size digital pics all at once….The nauseating list goes on forever… a billion trillion MBS.
My little server cannot handle mega files. I am a writer and this machine to me is nothing more than a glorified Remington with lots of bells, whistles and beeps. In fact , I am sure I can hear my real Remington Noiseless Portable sniggering behind me on its display shelf.
I write and I send my work away. I keep my stories on file and I do endless research.
I’m a PC dial up… and proud of it.
Before I disconnected the other computer which was definitely pooched after a long drawn out Inter-squawk, I had to copy out all my email addys because my old system did not have back up abilities.
So I spent hours copying them all out long hand before I switched systems.
I now have a brand new Windows Vista system… which I had to allow. Seems that all new PCS will be Vista – and so I must adapt.
Now hear this - all circuits, ports, chips and anything else remotely electronic!
If anyone and I mean anyone, dares misbehave, I shall personally disconnect you, take the power chord and thrash all of you within an inch of your digital lives.
Zounds... a revelation…. Could the run of bad luck I’ve been having have to do with deleting all those damned chain letters…OOPS..
