hey there __zh,

It must be an epidemic.....I have been cursing my puter for the last 2 weeks....it is a 2 year old laptop that decided to show me it's terrible 2's.

I'm thinking there is a lot of AI (artifical Intelligence) in these things & are programmed to know how to give owners "mental abuse". Didn't think they could take things personally, but I think it doesn't like the way I look at it & desides to shut down.

Actually started slowly by shutting down if I moved it, thinking the power cord was loose. That evolved to the point where I would just jiggle a little, trying to get comfortable & it would shut off. Then it got to the point after screaming & yelling at it, it would just sit in front of me & turn off or just shut down it's LCD.

Guess we all have gotten dependent on our "dang" puters. Wonder it there is a Psych Dx for that??? But I showed him,,,,,I just bought a new laptop yesterday.....way kool...shouldn't have trouble until the warrantee is up in 3 years cause they never go out for me until after the warrantee . They always know how & when to get even.
