I thought that I had found sanctuary in the Mac lab on our computer barren campus. There I could blog and surf the net in peace. Then the IT people come fiddling about with things and now they don't work quite the same. Why can't they just leave well enough alone. I don't know what they did, but now they are just about useless.
It is not a frustration with Apple, but with people who do not know how to care for a computer, no those who think they do and end up ruining what was a sweet integrated experience. I've had the same laptop for almost four years and have never had any problems for one simple reason, I know how to care for a computer. I know that it is a good idea to run a defragmentation program and a scan disk from time to time and have done other simple maintenance things that ensure that it runs great all the time, everytime. Well, about as good as you would expect from a PIII 700mghz VAIO laptop that is running Windows Me.
I can't wait to upgrade. I can't wait to get the computer of my dreams. Well, what I can afford. And then no one will touch it but me.
So with that in mind, before you go a tinkering, make sure that you know what you are doing, or find someone who does.
