Gorram Computer

February 3, 2007 by: UKStevieB

As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I have been a bad blogger of late. One of the main reasons for this is that the "new" second hand computer that I got for myself has gone kaput. Meaning that basically I broke it. And I don't know quite how. This has led to me having to resurrect/rebuild my "older" second hand computer and install a few of those programs that I had come to rely on in my newer machine. So basically my being missing wasn't voluntary. The main trouble I have with this old machine is the slowness of it, even opening up the Windows LiveWriter program can take up to two minutes, and it's even worse with something like Photoshop Elements. Sometimes the "click" hasn't registered and so I try and open it again, sometimes I think this is the problem only to click again and end up with two instances of the same program trying to open which eventually leads to a crash. Gorram it. Which just goes to show just how essential a reliable computer is, so I guess at some point soon I will have to dig deep and splash the cash for a brand new machine with a bit of power behind it. And at a not too terrifying price. Anyone got any suggestions?
