2nd one in a year has taken a shit on me. 3 days before a show even...i start it up and it just blue-screens, i try to boot from a recovery disc and it blue-screens, i take it to a professional and it bluescreens and then he says my data might not be recoverable windows! what an irreedeemably fuck-faced platform to use; no wonder macs cost so much more. the cavemen must have had it good because, you know, if a fucking bat wasn't heavy enough then you couldn't knock out a pterodactyl or a stegasaurus with it and have lunch could u. their tools kind of had this non-dependancy thing going on, now we have fucking windows computers; the foremost shit-munching hardware that can be found on this planet. bill gates is a maladjusted terrorist |

it probably isn't a windows things if it's that bad, especially if your "data might not be recoverable", more like a hard disk failure my windows xp probably crashed only once since i use it (2 years) :p |

his problem isnt with the software but the hardware on two windows based (non-apple) laptops. theyre just not made well is his point. |

although in fairness to non macs, i'd say that i think toshiba's hold up fairly well. i havent used them but i know that otto von schirach, richard devine, and the flashbulb all use or have used them at one point or another, i dont remember from the last show if benn had a toshiba. just trying to be partisan, although i'd like to say that i've had a G3 desktop since 99 or 00 and it still works fine, although a bit slow. |

I've never had any problems, although if I was a bit more techie, I would probably go for a mac. |
||||||||
|

|
|
No you wouldn't. If you were a bit more techie you would find macs insulting. |

People who complain about windows-based laptop stability normally don't have a clue about their system, and fill it up with so much junk. I have had my laptop for about 16 months now, and it has never crashed once. And I run some pretty intensive applications on it too. XP is a great operating system, and coupled with a decent sony/ibm laptop, its computer love. |

BTW cygnus, if this "expert" says your data might not be recoverable, the problem is most likely a hardware/hdd fault, and not windows. |
||||||||

that sounds more like your point anyway my next computer will be a mac |

Are we confusing certain technical terms like "Operating System" and "Cheap, crappy laptop" ? |

this calls for a backup, thanks |

its easiest to blame microsoft for all your problems. even if it isnt because of Windows, microsoft are still a bunch of incompetant wankers. |

A lot of the problems people have with their PC's comes from incompatible third party softwares installed with packaged systems from companies like dell. The solution? Not buying packaged systems, or at least installing the OS for yourself. Its pretty easy. Don't let future shop/best buy tell you that its worthwhile to spend $50 having them install it for you. |

i'm never buying a computer ever again ! |

to my knowledge dells come with a reinstallation cd of windows, at least the ones here at my work do it says 'please store safely for future recovery of your software if needed' though, so i can imagine people throwing it out with the packaging ;) |

Are you buying ensemble notebooks? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. But its a dell version of windows, with a whole bunch of crappy dellware that comes with it. |

whats that saying about bad trades people? always blame thier tools. |
