So... I've officially had the worst time ever with my computer.

 

First it broke. Wouldn't load Windwos, or when it did, it gave me the blue-followed-by-black-followed-by-blue-again screen of Death at a random and unspecified time. Sometimes when I wasn't even so much as touching the computer! This is a Bad Thing in a less than 12 month old computer.

 

So. I sent it away to get fixed (down to Flemington) and brought Old Faithful out of the closet. Lucky for me I didn't sell the old computer last year, methinks. And, just today, my laptop comes back to me.

 

First impression: Crap. The hard drive has been wiped, and it's a very, very lucky thing I backed up most of my files, because they're all gone. But that's okay. All I need do is download a few programs, re-install Office and I'll be functionally back on my feet. That's not a problem. Admittedly, AVG took way too long to download, but that's okay. It's not a problem. Oh, and I have a new keyboard? What's with that? Maybe they were being generous.

 

 

...

 

BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!

 

Yeah, so they didn't fix my computer. It's still got the same problem, only slightly more frequently than before. It kills itself at random moments. They did nothing.

 

I'm going back to Dick Smith's tomorrow to get the computer replaced. I know it's not their fault, but I'm desparate, I'm a uni student and I cannot function without a computer (with apologies to my desktop, who has been very good to me in this difficult period).

 

I feel like crap.
