Microsoft (and Compaq) Ruins My Sleep

I cannot be anymore annoyed right now. I simply turn my one and only computer, Windows XP loads the desktop as usual, takes 10-15 minutes before you can actually use the computer (as usual), I sync my new iPhone I got yesterday (more on that later), and go on CNETTV, and guess what? It decides to crash! I wasn't to suprised, because I head Molly Wood go "blah blah-ah ah ah," so I assumed Firefox has crashed. But, then I can't move my cursor. Uh. Oh. So I had to force shut off the computer, big deal. Only, I realized, that unusually, the computer itself decides to NOT turn off. Ahhhhh! I realize now, less than 10 minutes later, that maybe the computer broke, because after a while, the frozen Windows screen turns white, and the fans stop working. Against my better judgement, and while I was going to wait for the battery to die (did I mention that this is a laptop?), I took out the battery, WHILE it was running.

All I can say is now... well... is that I am really shaken and frustrated. I feel the need to post this to vent and tell people my problem, but I wrote this whole post on an iPhone keyboard. Does anyone know how difficult it is to get any writing longer than a text message through an iPhone? Believe me. It is taking me forever to type this. It also really hurts your hand.

Now I might have to think about getting a new computer. I mean, I wanted to buy a MacBook, but not because of this. I only made a small backup, now I lost possibly most of my documents, my music, my pictures, and I have to redownload my podcasts. At least I have my iPhone to comfort me...

I'll try to post during this ordeal, but an iPhone just doesn't cut it for posting. I'll hope you'll understand...
