I wonder if it is possible to hate an object? I manage to do a good job of hating my computer. Today I was having trouble with the internet, whats new you ask... I will tell you! I clicked on the little icon to see why I had no wireless and it told me that I could not sign on with Microsoft as I had elected another program to run my wireless... WHEN?! I have no recollection making any internet connection choice other than, no please do not make Yahoo my main page. So in their infinite wisdom the people at Microsoft (sorry Tom) decided to tell me, via a little button, if I did not want to use another program I could use something called Wireless Access point Zero. Ok fine I will do that... what the hell is that. To explain what it is there is a link. Ok I say, obviously I should click on this. So I do... AND IT TRIES TO TAKE ME TO THE INTERNET!!! HELLO!!! If I had internet would I need the button I ask you?! Well I got all sorts of upset and after looking into it more realized that Intel was now running my wireless... same difference to me. I then had to figure out how to make that work.
Now my real question is this. Obviously people at Microsoft are not retarded. I know a person who works at Microsoft and he is, from what I can tell, Intelligent and above all very good at thinking things through. So why, WHY would they do that. Is it not obvious that if I have an issue with the internet I can NOT access it to get help and as such I need that sort of information saved on my hard drive. Furthermore, how did it even happen? Why can't I control my computer. So what if that means I need to read a manual! I will read it. BTW I don't even think I got a Windows XP manual with this computer...
Anyway, that is my rant. I think I have fixed the internet, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this is not the last of my woes where this particular problem is concerned.
BTW Comcast still sucks harder than anything.
