    I've had my motherboard and video card fry once (obviously fixed since then), and the right click on my touchpad has kind of lost its springiness.

    Don't get me started on my computer problems. Bloody thing's slow as hell. Of course, it's nothing a defragmentation-whatjamacallit won't fix but I'm too bloody lazy.

    Today I finally got my husband to watch True Blood. Then his friend called and said to come over, but he was like "okay, after this episode." But then halfway through the episode my laptop did like some epic freezing! I was about to throw it.

    Also, the little scrolly part on my touch mouse isn't currently working. I get a pop-up when I boot up saying there's a driver compatibility issue, which seems pretty random.

    Thanks for the kind words everybody—on a more personal matter (you might not want to read if you're sensitive):

    Last night, while we were, you know, transferring data... the computer seemed flustered and suddenly became unresponsive. I tried asking what was wrong, but it had stopped responding entirely. Worriedly, I grabbed a hold of it and shaked it, and that's when it happened: it ejected the floppy in my face. Now, I don't mind, you know, taking things further and such, but I just wished it had prepared me for what it was going to do. I'd love to deviate from normal data transfer procedures, but how am I going to know what it wants if it doesn't talk to me about it? Needless to say, I pulled my USB stick out and, angered, went to sleep on the couch that night.

    None at the moment (bloody shocker that is, srsly).

    Past few months have been hell though, in May my graphics card died, then a month later my monitor died, both have been replaced thankfully. (23" HD screen ftw)

    And sometime in April my mouse suddenly decided for two weeks that it wanted to annoy the shyte out of me by double clicking everything when I least expected it.

    My computer's just old and slow. I was going to get a new laptop this summer, but it looks like that will have to be put on hold for at least a semester due to my dad not being able to help out with funding for law school right now.
