In Friday's thread we talked about demolition derby. Today my place looks like I've been playing demolition derby with computers. I've got open computers and bits of computers all over the place. Whatever happened to the idea of "computer compatibility"? It is like I have nine totally different creatures open! I've got 24 pin power supplies I can't fit into 20 pin boards. Sata hard drive connectors that I want to force IDE drives into, etc. I got a pile of adapters, converters, etc at the computer fair, but what I probably should have done is bought a pile of whole new computers!
The most annoying part is that I am also using an early version of XP. I know I can improve it by going to Microsoft Update, but I also know that Microsoft will fuck it so that it cannot work 16 bit software, and I'll have to start manually deleting dll files to run the software I need.
Fuck I wish Commodore had not gone bust, I really miss my Amiga. Now that was a computer.
