Compocalypse '09: The Return

[cleolinda]

This is just a quick note to say that I did take Camille back to Best Buy and exchanged her for Camille 1.2 with absolutely no problem at all. I had this entire spiel prepared about how if I couldn't even get the OS to boot then even if they fixed it I couldn't really trust the computer to not have any other problems, but I got about halfway through and the guy at the Geek Squad just waves his hand and goes, "Yeah, no, you don't need to deal with that." And they exchanged us for another CM 5570 without a peep, didn't think of some mystery fee to charge us, transferred the service plan over to that serial number and everything. And while I was there, I picked up that 1TB hard drive as well. I haven't hooked Camille 1.2 up yet just because I was like, "I gotta eat first. My low blood sugar is not dealing with this." And now I've stopped by to report on this last visit, but I'm about to go upstairs and deal with it because if C1.2 is also going to be fussy, I need to know it now.

Also, regarding the last entry--I really don't have anything against Macs or Mac users. The PC/Mac thing is a pretty personal issue (God knows why), and whichever one works for you, God bless. The first computer I ever really worked on (that wasn't, you know, some ancient rudimentary DOS-run thing in my high school typing class) was a Mac at an internship I had before college, and I really just didn't like it. I've used PCs ever since; they're more affordable for me and I understand how to use them better.

But whichever side of the divide you're on, if you want to get rude with me? Yeah. You are really not welcome here.

Yeah, I can totally understand why they suit some people. It wasn't even the opinion itself so much as--like, I don't even know who you ARE, why are you getting an attitude with me?

(Stress is making me way less patient than I used to be, and I hate that I'm getting so pissy about things these days.)

Dear lord, you're turning into me! And we're not even on the same meds!

IMO, you have every right.
(If someone had said that to me during my last computer crisis...)

I TOLD thee not to go among the English and their devil machines, and now look! But I shall forgive thee, mine goodwife, if thou should come back among the Amish and sit beside the fire and knit me some apple butter as I read from the Good Book.

You're more patient than I have been. Had I been in your position, I probably would have said something like "well, if you wanna pony up the 1500 bucks for my new mac, be my guest."

Then again, if you actually had said that, someone would probably have taken you up on the offer.
