20. abandoned system

[ifbymyhands]

We have a new computer! Sis needed it for some new medical software. Finally. I was sick and tired of Windows 98. It never works. Do any of you ever have trouble with stuff like that?

Anyway, this post isn't really about my new computer. I was just wondering: What do you do when you know the way things are isn't going to last?

Treasure it.

[ifbymyhands]

You would say that...

[bonywings]

It's been my experience.

[ifbymyhands]

I guess so. Still. You know what we talked about earlier?

[crackpotcrocker]

You got rid of your Windows 98?! That's one of the best hacking OS on the market... Not that I would know...

Actually, I don't have issues with computers.


Thanks for getting me all exicted for nothing, speaking of which that was sarcasm.

[ifbymyhands]

It crashes all the time. You know that.

What?

[crackpotcrocker]

Then you mustn't had taken proper maintaince of it.

To answer your question,... I'm actually not sure.

[ifbymyhands]

Nobody likes it.

Me neither, Crocker-sensei.

[misunderstanding]

Your question is a little vague. Is something wrong?

[ifbymyhands]

Not really...

[misunderstanding]

Do you mind if I ask, then, what it is that's not going to last?

[ifbymyhands]

I still age and my best friend, uh... well, stopped, let's just say. I don't really want to die anymore, so that solution's out.

[ for the second question-- DOES HE EVEN PLAN THAT FAR AHEAD?? no. not really. ] I think it'd depend on if the 'way things are' is good or bad.

[ifbymyhands]

It could be better, but I like it.

[createswithink]

Then stay positive. Maybe the change will be for the better!

[ifbymyhands]

I don't think it works like that.

[chestboard]

Hahh.... I've never even touched a computer before. Might explode if I give it a try.

And what's happening that makes you ask that question?

[ifbymyhands]

Are they allergic to you?

Just a thought.

[chestboard]

More like I'm allergic to them.... and I just haven't had the chance to play around on one I guess. Being in 1986 and all...

I'm just curious where this train of thought derived from.

[chimeranomore]

[Well, that's... a bit of a depressing question.]

What do you mean?

[ifbymyhands]

Basically, what if there's something inevitable?

[chimeranomore]

Hmn. "Inevitable" is kind of hard to be certain of until it actually happens. I know that acting like something is inevitable is a good way to make it so, even if it wouldn't be otherwise.

As far as I know, your options are mainly either to accept it and treasure things now while they last, or fight against it.

[denies]

Yeah, those computers are pretty annoying to deal with, aren't they? [ especially since Ange is no expert on them.. ]

They never seem to do what you really want them to do.

[ifbymyhands]

I haven't even tried a computer from the past, at least not in a long time.

[denies]

The one I last used ran on Windows 98. But I've heard about much newer versions out there on the community, even going on the internet through.. phone or something like that, which just sounds weird.
