the PC rant

There's no rest for the wicked. The one day I get a chance to catch up on lost sleep is the day the weird horror-movie inspired dreams choose to return.

Ended up taking out the day's frustration on the computer guy who still has not fixed my PC and did not seem to have any intention of doing so until I made it clear I do not want an upgrade when I have a perfectly fine working PC that just needs a new motherboard. For everyone out there who's as clueless as I am when talking hardware with your PC-guy: caveat emptor. These guys are out to rip you off as much as possible. Eight times out of ten they're just pissing in the wind themselves and have absolutely no idea what's really wrong besides a generalization of the part that's not working by trial and error. May they burn in hell, the lot of them.

So far, I have been to three different guys in as many weeks and not much has improved. I hate being dependant on techies or rather wannabe-techies whose failsafe advice is to just buy a new PC altogether.
