Comments on: I Can’t Catch a Break http://hterry.com/i-cant-catch-a-break Living in the south on the coast, working at one of the hospitals, going to school part-time and living with two hyperactive dogs. Sun, 07 Mar 2010 13:14:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Tom http://hterry.com/i-cant-catch-a-break/comment-page-1#comment-2693 Tom Mon, 01 Sep 2008 15:59:30 +0000 http://hterry.com/i-cant-catch-a-break#comment-2693 Man I really feel for you, I do. I wasted so much time on under-the-hood issues for years, and I continue to do so on clients' machines at work. At least they are paying me to wade through the chaos. I remember the last straw for me, swapping out another hard drive, and debating with the tech guy about whether it was a virus or what, and thinking "I actually, really, don't CARE if it's a virus, I have stuff I need to DO". And that was it.I waddled into the Apple Store that day, with my skeptic's hat on, I promise you. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I have to say that going Apple has completely changed working with computers when I'm on MY time. You can run windows, as I'm sure you know, IF you need to, and as far as the cost goes: the amount of time I didn't spend tinkering, in the first few months even, made that a non-issue. I just get so much more done, without the time-sink afternoons spent scratching my head...... Best of luck to you. Man I really feel for you, I do.

As someone who builds all of my machines (except laptops of course), I'm constantly disappointed in the current state of electronics retail. Everything is disposable now. Just buy a new one! Good luck on work. I’m with you. As someone who builds all of my machines (except laptops of course), I’m constantly disappointed in the current state of electronics retail.
