Short rANNt time…
January 9th, 2010Okay, computers drive me insane sometimes. My “old” laptop is about to go…my son, the ITT Tech student, told me that a five-year-old laptop is ancient and they’re obsolete in about 3 years…they’re literally only supposed to last about that long. WHAT’S WITH THAT?? I mean you can take good care of a car and have it last 10-20 years, houses for 100 or more. I own a skirt that I’ve been wearing for over 5 years, for goodness sake. A computer is like….air, to some of us. It is necessary for survival. Why can’t they be nice and make them last longer? Is 10 years really so much to ask? Technology just makes leaps ahead TOO quickly! Slow it down, people! I’ve heard the jokes about your computer being obsolete as soon as you take it out of the box. Man! My hero son helped me figure out how to get my novel shifted from the gasping laptop to my husband’s PC without having to retype the whole thing (well, most of it I had saved on my email account, but I didn’t want to retype 10 pages either). So I’m relieved about that anyway. But still…
