Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

[neil_cardiff]

Why can PC's be so fustrating?

Came home in a reasonably good mood, looking forward to playing with a new Flash gadget for my website.

Decided to make cup of tea and I was set.

Checked an item I was gagging for on Ebay, and was set to download a trial version of Flash so I could tinker with this Flash gadget.

All good so far

*Internet connection coughs and dies*

Oh, for fecks sake...

*fiddles for over an hour to get the connection up again*

Get going again and restart my download, but then realise that the Ebay item had ended - Noooooo!!!

I then finish downloading Flash and try to install.

*Flash install coughs every time - with no reasonable excuse*

*Neil has a fit and flings his mouse across the office*

*Mouse hits LCD monitor*

*LCD monitor now broken*

Agggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Why!

I've now missed out on my Ebay item, a broken monitor, and still no Flash.

Why are PC's so feckin stupid and decide to cough their guts up at the worst time - usually when your temper has gone past the breaking point?!?!

Computer says no.....

i've learn't the computer always wins - best to get a punch bag installed.....(and this is coming from someone who does IT for a living !!)

You could always bid on Ebay for a new monitor...wait, oh right!



Or you could always find the cheapest priced one on the internet. Oh wait, same thing again!

Wouldn't happen with Linux or a Mac.

QUite right, I've got a linux box at home, it's brilliant. Runs SuSe personal 9.something, never crashes, never fails, is super stable, super secure, never ever gets switched on because NONE of the applications I work with work in linux....

It was. Except I had been posessed by the stroppy devil and was even worse.

The missus was very brave to try and call me a tosser...

PS. May be a bad time to ask, but any progress with t'antivirus upload methods.. thinking of using AVG to keep me safe for now. This comp attracts all sorts of crap.

Dunno what the deal is with whatever AV you are getting from Neil, but why not just whack AVG or Avast on there anyway. Both free, both excellent.

I wouldn't put a paid for AV within half a mile of my PC, Norton and McAffee see fit to fill your computer up with crap I neither want nor need.

[UncleDave]

I have to agree with you there but worth a try I suppose!

AVG and Avast used to be the way but slow me down a bit.
I've only recently woken up and realised I have only got 512MB RAM I've been kidding myself I've got 1GB

[lockstock2sb]

i can recommend avast - doesnt seem to hog resources but i always disable it before gaming anyway

Try norton corporate edition. Doesn't fill your computer up with rubbish, very efficient, quick clean and tidy, you'd never know it was there, no flash bells and whistles.

I've just sent him the corporate version of NAI's AV - Enterprise V8.0i

The danglies in my opinion...

It may well be.

But seeing as I sent him Network Associates Enterprise V8.0i with Patch 11...
