who here gets mad when computer crashes?

i do... everytime i must reformate (or how do you say this
in english? erase all and reinstall all...) my hd, i get
madly sad and sadly mad about this... not a depression
maybe, but almost! i want to die every time this happens.

and see, my mac just made two weird errors tonight, every
time it was white DOS-like text popped over the screen and
everything just stopped... scary!! i hope it won't happen
again | everytime or i'll have to reformat... i'm sick just
thinking about it.

i put far too much importance on my computer. °_°
and this seems to be a sign of times... it must be quite
common.

(see 'serial experiments: lain' for example, or other
fictions about "real" virtual reality etc., the authors must
be like this and even more...)

Computers crash, shit happens. If you're having to reformat
and reinstall every time then you might want to look at
getting a new hard drive.

I've got a pc doctor coming tommorrow to upgrade and fix all
errors,i'd rather pay £17.50 to have it fixed,than learning
how to fix it because i'm terrible with computers.
Lol,I've only just stared to learn HTML!

Man, I got so depressed all three times my computer
crashed... ''WHY GOD WHY?''

But now I (rather obessively) back every little thing up,
saving to both my C and D drives (they've both crashed, but
independently) and burning data CD-Rs like my life depended
on it. Every single trace of porn is backed up, every song,
every .TXT. My computer is powerless to bring me down like
it has those three times.

If it crashes again, I have everything on CD-R. It'll be
annoying to copy whatever I want back onto the computer, but
the important thing to me is that I won't lose anything.

I have officially OWN3D my computer.

danbrusca > thanks goodness, no!! ^^
i only have to reformat it once or twice a year... but i'm
really unlucky or unskilled compared to other people i know.
: /

i know, some people just never have to reformat. lucky ones.

White DOS-like text? If youre running OS X that's called a
Kernel Panic. It's the UNIX base displaying an
unrecoverable error, just restart. I've only gotten one of
those in 2 years.

Man vs. Machine!

I get right royally pissed.... but my computer has been
pretty well healthy for a year now. I can keep this machine
running for days on end and not have to reboot it!

heheh,...

yeah, the monitor tried to start me, blowing smoke and
flickering and so forth, so I was like
"come on, you want a piece of me?!!! huh!!!!!?????"
and I grabbed the thing and threw it,
however,
I forgot about the cord, and with the entire wight of a
thrown monitor, the plug at the end of the cord whipped
around my neck and into my lip.

don't be fooled by the appearance of my avatar, mahoro is
actually a retired battle android, and quite a formidable
foe.
