I hate my computer!

I HATE MY COMPUTER!!! HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE!

PIECE OF SHIT!

PIECE OF SHIT!

Actually this piece of shit computer is not the exact same model as my piece of shit computer but it IS a HP Pavilion so it can't be too much better than the piece of shit computer I'm stuck with.

UPDATE 5/26/12: I feel like a fool right now. On maybe not so much a fool as a stubborn man who thinks he knows more than he actually does. The main reason I hated  my computer was because the fan automatically seemed to go into overdrive the very moment I started the thing. Loud, loud and louder as the machine heated up. If I were watching a movie on Netflix or something like that I only had about 30-35 minutes before it shut down from overheating. I had been watching television programs while doing my exercise (walking on the treadmill), and I couldn't even get through a whole episode with the damn thing crashing on me. 


Anyway, I'd looked at the HP Support & Assistance program to see what the problem might be. I knew it must have been something fairly big because I've never any computer make as much noise as mine. All I found was a page about dust in the fan telling me to spray the vents with compressed air. I thought, no, that can't be it. That would be too simple. This computer hasn't been in an atmosphere where that kind of dust could accumulate in the short span of time since I bought it. It had to be something more complicated that, for whatever reason, they weren't mentioning in the help section.


Particularly frustrated a couple of days ago I said, what the hell, couldn't hurt none, and whipped out a can of compressed air on the sucker. Guess what? This computer is as quiet as a mouse. Furthermore I can set it on my lap for more than 10 minutes without thinking I've got a hot frying pan there. I don't need to put ice beneath it to keep it cooled down. 


This is exactly why I failed Algebra I & Algebra II. That's right, I was given the green light to take Algebra II even though I flunked Algebra I. I never understood the logic behind that. But the reason I was so bad at it is because I thought I could find other, more effective ways to solve the problems. Crazy, I know. I won't make those mistakes next time.
