I HATE WINDOWS!!!
I've spent the last several days trying to find out why my computer's so messed up. Windows does the stupidest things. It's unbelievable. I hardly did any work yesterday because I was trying to debug the computer and was running all kinds of diagnostic checks and rebooting over and over again. And Brian has already reinstalled Windows on this computer a couple of times. I can't believe how many web sites I found that gave the solution to problems as, always, reinstall Windows. WTF? How many times do people who run Mac OS X or UNIX or Linux have to reinstall the OS? Geesh.
This is a new computer; I got it when I started my new job in October. I got a PC because that's what 99% of the people at work are running and the software I had access to at work is all PC-based (like Microsoft Office). If the new Intel duo core iMacs had been available when I bought this computer, I'd have bought an iMac. Too bad it hadn't been released at that point. When I saw Brian's, I was just sick at the thought that if it had been a few months later I could have had a new iMac for just about the same amount of money I paid for this piece of crap.
Last night, when Alan came home from work, I let out all my pent-up frustration about Windows and all the time I'd lost in the past few days. I think that I might just break down and buy an iMac. Alan's all for it. I often disagree with him when it comes to spending money, but one thing I'll say for him is that he believes in spending money when it comes to your work. He doesn't want me to skimp, either, but to upgrade the computer as much as I need to. The company paid for this computer, so it's not like the money came out of my pocket. We don't have the funds to buy a new computer right now, and I hate to charge it, but I need something reliable for work, so it's almost a necessity.
Anyway, I'll be in Portland next week. If I decide to go ahead and buy an iMac, I'll get it from the Apple Store in Pioneer Square. No sales tax! So we'll see what happens. I'm going to give this computer another week and then decide what to do.
I hate Windows. Really, really hate it.
