For the past year or so I have learned to really rely on technology. When something happens and it keeps me from using one of them I’m to the point where I get anxious. If it’s my laptop I start getting nervous. I know how much repairs can cost and replacing my laptop isn’t really an option as a. it’s expensive and b. I have so much I need on it. Did you know that CyberDefender had a free download option? I’m definitely trying it out the moment I’m done with this post to make sure I don’t have something hiding somewhere I’m not aware of. I have a program I use now but it was super expensive. I was looking through the products CyberDefender offer and I was really impressed with how affordable they are!

Nowadays, most of us are slowly becoming more and more comfortable with unsafe habits when browsing the web. Without noticing, we lapse in updating our software when we are notified; we let someone we’re not 100% sure we actually know (could be from high school?) be a friend on Facebook; we download recipes or let our kids download and play games from unknown sites. Most of us have security software, but before we know it, our PC becomes slow…incredibly frustratingly slow.

Awww, my computer is on it’s last legs. I don’t have facebook though..
What frustrates me about my computer is how often it gets locked up. It’s almost 10 years old and nothing seems to work on it. If it were for my hubby’s knowledge of how to fix things on it, we would have had to get rid of it several years ago. Now, though it’s acting really ‘bratty,’ and not cooperating at all. That’s why winning this would be great! Thanks much. I’ll go on fb now.
thanks for sharing.. My husband needs his own laptop so he will stop using mine.
Oh where to begin, we upgraded…..from a HP to a Dell because my husband got a great deal on one from work a few years back. I am not sure what the difference is between the two but, with the Dell it is almost impossible to download pictures or video’s from any device whether you have downloaded software along with it or not. Usually it will take days or weeks to download a simple video from our video camera (we actually have two new ones, both with software) and the stupid computer freezes and you have to re-boot the whole computer and repeat what I swear is hundreds of times before it downloads. Then the process of being able to open the file, is just as painful. Then regardless if you want to open that file or not, your whole documents will freeze every time you open it. This goes on for every video/picture regardless of the video camera/digital camera that you use. I have tried to take video’s and photo’s for my brother n law’s solo act and band for promotional purposes and I have spent months sitting here in front of this crap computer messing with video’s and pictures. Not to mention we do have children and one grand baby and it takes all the fun out of it trying to record and share their special moments…I would love a new laptop that would allow me to be able to cut down on the time I spend on down loading and editing these special moments, thanks.
Computers are the most frustrating when you need them the most. You, know, when you are walking out the door with your coat draped over your arm and you remember an email you just ‘have’ to send. You rush over, type a quick note and hit ‘send’ and it does absolutely nothing. Now you’re in a hurry and can’t send your email. You set your coat down and sit down to stare at the screen wondering why your email didn’t get sent. You keep hing send and nothing happens.
After the last time you hit ‘send’ the email disappears into thin air and you have to start all over again…
I find this happening with spreadsheet and word processing applications, too… They seem to not work whenever there is a deadline for something. They, also, seem to eat files, usually about 10 minutes before the deadline and you have to start over – with the whole spreadsheet and/wp file…
The worst thing is when you are setting there, looking at it, and you know that everything is correct. So you hit ‘enter’ again, Nothing happens. You hit enter again, now your frustration is building. You’re doing everything right, so why won’t the computer do its thing? 15 minutes later, you realize you forgot to enter your password and the computer is sitting there thinking, “I love it when you are clueless” and laughs at you.
Of course, none of the aforementioned problems have NEVER happened to me. LOL
My best story from when I did system administrations for a large law firm — I get a call that someone’s computer is hot. It was right up against a deadline and I figured this was a ‘the dog ate my paper kind of thing.’ Except when I got there, there were smoke and flames coming out of the back of the computer. I disconnected it from the wall and shot it a couple of times with CO2.
As I was carrying the limp,melted object back to my office for an autopsy, the person who’s computer came up to me and asked if I could get her document back… I asked her if she had saved-all documents were supposed to be put on the server-and she turned kind of flush and said “no.” I asked her when the deadline was…
Around 1998, I bought a Silicon Graphics Indy system after seeing it demo’d at MacWorld.
The thing cost around $7,000, but I figured I could make that bank in one auto accident reconstrution.
Well the thing never worked. Never. I would launch an application and, almost instantly, the whole thing froze up. It did this almost every time I used it.
I walked through the usual tech support call… Did you do this? blah blah blah
Then they decided to send a tech support guy to my house to see what was wrong with it. The guy spent 4 hours trying to make it work. He swapped most of the parts, HD, video card, etc and replaced them with new ones. It still was freezing up.
By this time, I was ready to pull out my hair – I had a $7,000 paper weight on my desk, with $2,000 worth of software that would only work on that computer.
Eventually, Silicon Graphics called me and said they couldn’t support single user installations. Which kind of makes sense. They guy they sent out had to drive 4 hours each way.
They told me to box it back up and send it back to them and they would refund the purchase price.
Now, I have two Indy’s that I bought off eBay. One cost me about $100 and the other $10. They both had these HUGE 19in. Sony CRT monitors. Silicon Graphics went out of business. How the mighty have fallen…
