I give up

That stupid HP laptop I was working on... the video card scrambles itself after a few minutes. When it doesn't, the whole machine freezes up. It's from 2007 and my aunt has a newer machine now, but... just annoyed that it's a complete useless pile of shit.

My wife's former employer issued her an HP laptop (this was a few years ago now).

It sucked .

It more than sucked.

It, as Homer Simpson would say while mocking Ned Flanders, " suck diddly-ucked. "

etc.

You think that's bad ? Try dealing with my custom computer that I sunk $2,000+ on.

HP has become the new E-machines.

This is why I stick to mah Thinkpads.

This particular model (dv6700) has the FUCKING VENT ON THE BOTTOM.

On a related note, DID YOU KNOW THAT GATEWAY STILL FUCKING MAKES COMPUTERS?!?!

I hate computers. Cars are so much better.

The last Gateway I had was a Gateway 2000 Pentium 133MHz with 32mb RAM and Windows 95 desktop in the mid-90s.

I don't hate computers; they just annoy me extremely because they age so quickly. Cars, on the other hand, are timeless.

Personally, I get more satisfaction by concentrating my efforts on a machine that provides tangible, physical enjoyment rather than spending time/effort/money on a fancy media player. I like high performance computing (I run quantum mechanics simulations on my University's cluster), but the rewards of personal computing just seem kind of silly to me.

Well... I did something horrible.

Well...

First time I had it assembled, $1,200 total (AMD Phenom II X6 1100T, Powercolor AMD Radeon HD6850, Asetek 510LC, Corsair Dominator 8GB (4x2GB), ASUS M4A8TD-EVO)

Ended up sinking $900 (Old case was Thermaltake V4, New case set me back $340 when it was launched, $560 was spent on a new, custom liquid cooling setup.)
