I hate computers

Short post, I promise.
Jurgen was using my computer Sunday, came running down and said I couldn't use it anymore. While he was using it, it apparently started to smoke. I didn't see it. It has never happened to me. I am not sure I believe him.
I have been wanting a new computer, so I thought what a great opportunity to get one. We shopped all over (quickly) for one and I finally bought one at this place. I discover (stupid me) as I am paying for it that it is actually refurbished. I wouldn't have bought it if I had known this, and it is now too late (they don't take them back). Then they tell me that they can take my hard drive out and put it externally and I will be able to access it from there. They alos say that I can still use my other computer. Oh, and I am able to get a Vista upgrade too.
Yeah, the upgrade? No one seems to know how to do it, but they all claim I am eligible. I have phoned 3 different places in two different countries to no avail.
Then, I am using my computer and the stupid mouse is too "twitchy" and it keeps jumping ahead. So, I go buy this cool wireless one, and now can't figure out how to even put the stupid batteries in! I don't want to break it, but can it really be that hard?
Oh, and so the hard drive. Yeah, plugged it in, can't find anything. All of my documents seem to be gone. And does my other computer work now? NO!!
Like I said, the computer never did anything to me. Sure, it was slow, and had a few bugs, but it was definately better than this piece of crap!
Yeah, computers are not my strong point. OK, I am clueless when it comes to hardwear and softwear and all that, but at least I could get it to do what I wanted it to. Now I am just stuck. I wish I had never bought this stupid computer.
Even our wireless now doesn't work, so I am at the plug in.


GGGGGGggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!
