Don't get me wrong, I heart my compy. It helps me get my work done. It stores my music. It keeps me company on my lunch break and frees me from the ball and chain of my desk. It makes me happy.
But it is a big whiner.
For example:
OH MY GOD! I THINK I NEED A SCAN! VIRUS SCAN IS NOT UP TO DATE!! I NEED A SCAN! SOMEONE RUN A COMPLETE SYSTEM SCAN ON MY HARD DRIVE! I NEED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION! SOMEONE'S BEEN GIVING ME COOKIES! YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME! STRANGERS HAVE BEEN HANDING ME COOKIES AS I PASS BY! HELP! HELP!
or
THERE ARE UNUSED ICONS ON YOUR DESKTOP! WHAT SHOULD I DO?!? THERE ARE UNUSED ICONS ON THIS DESKTOP. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!
or
YOU SKIPPED SOME OF THESE TRACKS DURING PLAYBACK! WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO WITH THEM? WHERE SHOULD I PUT THEM! OH, HELP, HELP, WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?
or
iTUNES IS NOT MY DEFAULT PLAYER! DON'T YOU THINK iTUNES SHOULD BE MY DEFAULT PLAYER? WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE iTUNES YOUR DEFAULT PLAYER NOW? HOW ABOUT NOW? WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRANSFER ALL YOUR MUSIC TO iTUNES AND MAKE iTUNES YOUR DEFAULT PLAYER NOW?
or
MEMORY ERROR WILL TERMINATE. I CAN'T SAVE WHATEVER YOU JUST DID! IT'S GONE; IT'S GONE!
Whatever that one means. As you can see, my computer is a whiner. But at least it's entertaining. ;)
Posted by LoWriter at December 12, 2007 10:01 PMdo you periodically pat it on the head and say "there, there"?
Posted by: dr gonzo at December 13, 2007 10:11 AMI think you should find it a teddy bear or blankee - that might bring it some comfort for it's obvious anxiety.
I have to say I love the 'unused icons' - what the hell is that about anyway?
