My Computer!

Missing image
My computer threw a tizzy
for the upteenth time this year
and I'm getting rather tired of its game
If it tries once more i swear
I'll throw it threw the air
and buy another i hope won't do the same

Author notes

I've never run across such a maniacal computer than seems to have a mind of its own. There's a good chance of a Mac taking its place if it doesn't quit with the tantrums!

In a list

    It's a Billy Gates build in, all meant to get the user pulling their hair out. That way every year he can sell upgrades to solve one of the problems incorporated into the old system.It seems to be working as you are thinking of getting a new one SUCKER
    Great little piece that clearly rings a bell with your readers Well done

      Thanks for reading, mate. Maybe I am just not meant to own one. 90 percent of the time, I play games on it, so maybe I should get an xbox or something! lol!!!!!!!!!

    There's a download you can use which can cure a pc's
    woes, it's called a 12 gauge shotgun.

    Don't buy ammunition, I've plenty.

      Hi, mate. Sorry I haven't kept up with you. Between work and this computer I have, I seem to be floundering in space. I think my computer has picked up a bug or something. None of my drives are accessible, not even the dvd's, and this morning I can't even get the net up cause the computer freezes. Using JJ's. Mines on the way to the local tip.

    round and round you go

    And back again, then will the next do
    the same. I'm too new on the computer
    but I do feel that way about this whole
    poem business at times. Round and round
    and I keep coming back. Is this a poem?
    Good write my dear condor

      Thanks for reading, mate. Yeah...It is so frustrating. I don't know what it is. A virus I reckon has got this one. It shut down all my drives. I'll probably be off until I get a new one up and running. I'm using my JJ's at this moment.

    I laugh! Funny.

    I dunno, I don't use Windows. I don't use Mac either. Before you throw it out the window, maybe a format would be more worth your time? Still have your restore CD, or did you try that?

    Or maybe try Linux. It's free.

      Thanks, mate. I do have the disc, but none of my drives are accessible. They have all shutdown. Can't even restore cause the damned thing won't shut down without help from the switch....it's out of here.

      Thanks, Bob. You probably are aware that I have had a lot of problems with my computer. This time i think I caught a virus. It's shut everything down.
