My Battle with Technology

August 23rd 2007 07:19
Well it has been a week now...i ordered the dream machine brand new computer. Checked with the software company that provides my Trading software to make sure it was all compatible, i dotted i's and crossed t's did everything a person could think of to have a seemingly smooth technology transition.....apparently not...It has been a week and I am still not p and running properly. i think the Tech God's totally conspired against me, even my internet stopped working for two days, ALL BY ITSELF it has nothing to do with my new Computer.
Now i am in Qld with a new computer that only half works, yes you guessed it the VERY expensive new trading software does not work on the New PC, no-one knows why........What the!!!!!!!


I feel like throwing this shiny new Laptop out the Window and screaming, what does a person have to do to get things to work properly. The only solution available is to trade off the Old coputer and use the Laptop for other things for the time being....aaargh......

Here's hoping i go btter tomorrow getting my new internet connection from a friend that works at Telstra up here.fingers crossed, I am trying my hardest to join the Tech Revolution....boo hoo keithy

Grrr.....that would make me SO angry!!! Tech problems are the most frustrating things ever!

I'm about to buy a new laptop myself and I'm scared of this happening. It'll drive me in insane. Couple that with internet problems. I can understand that you're not the happiest camper at the moment!!!

Yeah, it's great getting new technology but so frustrating setting it all up especially when things go wrong. Urghhhhhhh.It drives me potty.

I also hate printer problems. I can always guarantee that the most crucial time I need to print something, my rotten printer f**ks up. And why it's only doing what it is supposed to do and the clue is in the name....printer!!! Aahhhh, drives me nutty! We have a new one now so I'm hoping the problem won't happe or at least as much.....

Good luck, Louie and feel free to vent as much as you need

Computers suck.

Mine has interactive voice technology. When I YELL at it it does what I tell it to.

Actually, when I yell at it everyone tells me to be quiet.

Still....feels better when I yell at it.

Cheers
