    I haven't had a major problem with a PC since the last one we had that ran on Windows 98 (now that was a pile of crap let me tell you. I especially enjoyed losing the internet connection after about an hour and having to restart constantly because things kept freezing). That was two PC's ago I believe. Our current one is a few months old and runs HL2 and Doom 3 at high settings with ease. How could I possibly hate something that does that?

    Mine's alright, it does what I need it to do. Its a dell, 3-4 years old. Still relatively fast, though I don't use it to for gaming. Its just for internet use/music.

    I do want a new one very badly. Hopefully i'll be in the first stages of building myself one this time next year, if all goes according to plan with paying off my bills. I'm planning on building an absolute beast.

    I just bought a new computer this morning. It's pretty good by today's standards, and spectacular considering the deal at Circuit City. In the end (after AOL subscription, rebates, and sales tax) it'll cost me $228. I'm almost done with erasing the crap-for-crap programs on it and installing better ones, but it is definitely awesome so far. And, it's all mine so no one else is allowed to touch and thereby destroy it.

    I don't hate my computer.

    I absolutely love my computer. Since I upgraded from Windows 98 to 2000 it has only crashed about once every year - though I have had problems with upgrading nVidia's drivers for my Ti4200. But hey, it still works!

    I don't hate my PC. Sometimes the Keyboard dies in the middle of a conversation, and I get mad, and I can't play games on it for some reason, but it's still awesome.

    Although, I hate Resha's PC, and I've never used it before.

    and no one is ever gonna take my love
    from me because I've got security,
    her password and a key"

    If you hate your computer, get a new one.

    Problem solved.

    My computer works fairly well. It crashes sometimes but it's still always been there for me.

    Or go the cheaper route and just re-install the operating system. It never hurts to have a fresh start.

    Anyway, I don't hate my comp. My Athlon 2500 stabily overclocks to a 3200 without a problem. It doesn't handle games as well as it once did but that's okay since I mainly used ePSXe. I will admit that I do have to re-install my OS about twice a year due to how sluggish it gets over that period of time. Though I don't hate my comp, it doesn't stop me from wanting to build a more powerful one. I'm just waiting for the right time.

    Sometimes, when it just closes an app for no apparent reason and asks you if you want to send a report to micro$oft, Tsk

    I love my computer, it does exactly what I tell it to, most of the time. Even when it's too old to play the newest games, I won't hate it, cause that's my own wallets fault.
    From my experience, it seems like people who hate their computers often don't know how to operate them properly.
