SHADOWS REALM

There comes a moment in everyones life that where they have to experience eating dirt (their own words, humble pie, crow). This is a moment.


Everyone who knows me knows that I am ANTI APPLE/MAC. I have been this way for years. I don't have the energy to get into it now, but it is mainly because of thier business ethics. And the fact that thier products are so glorified and monotomous. i-this and i-that.

But as much as I have been a Dell stan for since 2003, I am over it. And I am over Windows too.

Yeah, I said it.


Tuesday night of this week I did a dumb thing. A dumb thing that I never suspected would be a dumb thing. I installed an automatic security update from windows. I clicked on the trustworthy little yellow shield that notified 'You have updates to install', and allowed the 11 packets to successfully be integrated into my system. Trustworthy little data that took only 12 minutes to completely FAIL MY SYSTEM.

Thats right. A MICROSOFT UPDATE carried conflicting data that caused a complete operating system failure so bad to the point that Dell said the only thing that could be done was to format and reinstall. All data would be lost.

I call Microsoft to light into them about how it's their fault a laptop computer less than 6 months old with over 250GB of memory and no history of downloads and still under warranty CRASHED. I didn't even get an I'm sorry. Not even a complimentary product key for my troubles. I get a 'Call Dell, it's their problem'.

Ohweally?

Thank goodness 95% percent of my data has been backed up (learned my lesson the first time). The other 5% I can take as a loss (5 game files lost including the Wonderland Mysteries of Fire Island that I just finished after 6 months of playing! A few songs, one of which I can't find again, and some documents and bookmarks). Right now thanks to my cousin, my system has been wiped clean and I am running Windows 7.... For now.


I hate to say this but.....


I'm saving up for a Mac book air.....
