I like my computer. I do. I don't know much about computers, save for the things one picks up when one has grown up in the age of internet. But what I do know is that I now have a mac. I was told that macs were better than PCs because macs don't get viruses.
I suppose that's true, but here's something I notice: My mac is pissing me off. On occasion, and to be honest it's a rare occasion that hasn't until today really affected me, the keyboard will just decide to stop working. The computer keeps plugging away and I can watch the writing I've been working on sitting on my screen not being saved. The thing isn't frozen, it's just not responsive to outside stimuli. It's like how Christians believe comas work.
So I get to watch my computer wait for me to tell it what to do as I manage to avoid hurling it across the room in disgust. To be honest that urge is never really related to my computer's performance... I just think it'd be fun to break something really expensive.
In the past I've been able to close the laptop and then open it again at which point I'd be rewarded with a brief amount of control, enough to save what I'd been working on. But today I couldn't manage that and for the first time in quite some time discovered I'd lost some work. It's annoying.
This bothers me.
