I hate hardware

[susandennis]

And software.

I knew I should have just let the new printer sit and installed it this weekend when it wasn't hot and I wasn't tired. But, no. I had to do it tonight.

And, would it install? No. The computer wouldn't recognize it. USB problem.

No amount of futzing would help. I had to rollback the operating system. Finally, I gave up. This weekend will be fine. I rolled back one more time and now the fucking web cams won't work. One went and then the other one. USB problem.

I hate hardware.

I have now unplugged the webcams and the printer and given them all a time out. They can just think about what they have done. I'll get back to them this weekend.

And I hate the hot. I just hate it.

I am so not happy.

"I have now unplugged the webcams and the printer and given them all a time out. They can just think about what they have done."


Hope they learn a lesson by then.

Bad hardware, bad! "Go to your rooms"

I feel your pain.

The hot is bad, the hardware -- I'm hoping -- mercurial.
I just bought a roomba. I'm hoping karma doesn't get me. :-)

???? You bought a roomba??? I hope it is wonderful for you. Really.

I was in the middle of replacing our curtains with blinds, and
we have enough moola in the household account. After being such
a crab about your roomba, I went and read several million reviews,
and ordered one yesterday. It'll be interesting to see how it
deals with the many (10) small rooms.

Thanks for contributing to the anti-aging of Max. :-)

1) Hot sucks; humid-hot sucks absolutely.

2) The capacity of machines to heal themselves is one of the Great Dark Dirty Secrets™ of our culture -- we all know it happens, yet we're all ashamed to admit that we "believe in it".
I can't recall how many times the TV remote or my daughter's Discman has buggered up and/or gone dead, and "we fix it" by letting it sit for a couple days and then it's fine...

I have had it happen. The modem in Mom's TiVo died one year. I bought an external one that worked fine and we used it for about a year. Then she moved and the external one would not work. Unplugged it and the TiVo modem snapped back into service and it's been working fine for the past year.

I work in technology. I know that both hardware and software owe whatever success they enjoy in large part to Druid magic.

Yeahbutt see the Mariners always lose so that really can't count too much. Probably a little, tho. You are right.
