PIECE OF SHIT! PIECE OF SHIT! PIECE OF SHIT! 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.
