how many times....
« on: March 11, 2015, 08:53:44 am »
have you been frustrated with your computer and ready to throw it somewhere and get a new one?

every once in a while I feel like that when I get involved trying to sort out a computer glitch.

It may be frustrating at times but, that only makes me even more determined to find an answer and fix it.

Well I have a new computer and I must say it often makes me feel like throwing through the window. that is when I get up and do something around the house and go back and then I am fine. The problem is too many people on line at the same time so many times I will stay awake all night when most people are sleeping.

I get frustrated with the public library computers I use. They can be so slow sometimes and the internet keeps going out.

Often times I will threaten to take my computer out and run over it with the pickup.  So far I have controlled myself.

There are times when I too would like to throw it through the window but then I'd have to get a new window as well as a new computer.

Every time that happens to me, I just restart the computer. Usually doing that solves all problems and I get back to loving my computer once more and forgetting all about having wanted to ditch it.

I used to feel that way when I had my old windows desktop but of course it was running windows xp and was really outdated. I just use a chromebook now and it has been so much easier.

Sometimes I get to the point where I feel like my computer is more trouble than it's worth, when it doesn't work right.  Then I come to my senses.  :p

If the reboot doesn't work then I am usually lost.

I used to get very frustrated with my old computer and all the problems I was having, until one day I decided enough is enough and purchased a new computer.  Now all works well... ;)

I have a couple programs that clean up the computer. And make sure my plug ins are running good.

I expect computers to be lightning fast and they never are. The slower they are, the more I want to throw them out the window. But then I come to my senses and realize that throwing it out the window would not solve the problem.  :glasses-nerdy:

I usually start playing computer Spider Solitaire as I wait for things to download or pull up or open. That passes the time so that I don't lose my mind.  :'(
