at least there's sleep
The second I tried to start working today, my computer refused to connect to the internet. After an hour working on it, I went to the university help desk to get, you know, 'help.' They tried all the things I did (something tells me they didn't believe me when I said, "I already tried that."), and couldn't find the problem. Their advice: Macs don't work very well. Buy a PC or install Windows 7. Given that this is contrary to every experience I've ever had with my Mac, I didn't. I ended up fixing it myself after another half hour. (Thanks for the 'help.') Then I had trouble turning in (electronically) a paper I'd written because of file formatting issues that I don't need to born you with. After I got stuck in traffic on the way home, things really started to go downhill (email related). Long story short, I'm glad the day is over.
You can only imagine your parents attempt at technology related issues...does this fact make you feel a bit more blessed...
