Why are computers so confusing? I left my laptop working perfectly well on Thursday and now I came back to uni and it's had a complete meltdown. People say women can be temperamental, but computers, and in particular my laptop, are far worse. Apparently my anti-virus software is out of date and some back up hasn't run.
So virus protection renewed and a few restarts later it appears to be happy, for now. But it almost certainly won't be for long. When will a computer be made that does not have hysterical fits each time it's turned on? Last weekend I turned it on to find that it no longer accepted my Internet connection because Microsoft expansion 3 or whatever it's called had changed my settings. Had it not been for the IT technician I probably still wouldn't know what was wrong and it probably would have resulted in a new laptop. Which brings me onto my next point, so many people just go out and buy a new computer at the first sign of a problem. Which I think could be the plan behind the utterly useless troubleshooter programmes which simply tell you 'oh yes that's broken' and give no way of fixing the problem.
My point behind this is go and make friends with someone who works with computers, that's what I did and I got mine fixed for free!
