I have a dinosaur of a laptop. It's only about 6 years old, but as we all know, that makes it VERY behind the times technologically. I am currently unemployed, and whether I like it or not, 99% of companies require you to apply online their website or via e-mail. I'm also taking online classes to earn my second Bachelor's degree. Needless to say, NOT being on my computer most of the day is not an option right now.
With my employment situation, I got rid of cable to save some money. Which is OK, because I can watch the (very few) shows I am addicted to online, especially since I have to pay for the internet for school and to look for a job. ALSO needless to say, I can't afford a new computer right now.
It is incredibly annoying to try to watch a show online and h-h-h-a-a-a-v-v-v-e-e-e- t-t-t-h-h-h-e-e-e s-s-s-o-o-o-u-u-u-n-n-n-d-d-d constantly s-s-s-k-k-k-i-i-i-p-p-p and to have the sound and picture out of sync!!!! Also, my computer seems to have a very hard time multi-tasking. God forbid I have two programs running at the same time. The only thing that helps in the least is to restart, and I find myself restarting this
machine several times a day.
To add to my frustration, my beloved Holland managed to remove the "R" from my keyboard:
It still works, but not too well, so I have to spend THAT much more time proofreading what I write.
OK, rant over. Thank you for letting me get that off my chest, it just might have avoided me throwing my computer out the window...
