Technology has failed me
7/23 - Computer died, lost a lot of files, but luckily had backed up most things 2 weeks prior
7/24 - Discovered the other laptop I was about to sell on ebay got water damage from the flood, some of the keys don't work
8/19 - Lost camera and many many photos from recent traveling
9/14 - Discovered my YouTube account was deleted for copyright violation. There go my videos that weren't backed up
10/6 - Discovered my MP3 player died, which included a few non-song files I hadn't backed up

What the fuck? And I had a dream the other day that my computer died AGAIN, which it just may do. Do I lose at technology or does technology lose... at me?

The good news is I have an excuse to dish out money for a cellphone with a decent camera and mp3 player. The other bad news is that I have to dish out money for a cellphone with a decent camera and mp3 player.

Ugh. Technology sucks. Remember the days when AOL was so fucking slow and computers had enough memory for like 500 pictures and it just didn't make sense at all to store anything in there?

That was awesome.

LOL that sounds like the computers I had to use at work. We definitely still used AOL 4.0 :|
Even though it sucked and was expensive.

DANG. That sucks, I'm sorry, dude.

I think if your computer is that unreliable, and you're having stress dreams about it, you should probably sell it and invest in a new one. Combining a cell/camera/mp3 player prolly isn't a bad idea, since a lot of phones take decent pics now.

Yeah I'd wanted one for years but I thought it was silly to dish out that much money when my cell phone, camera, and MP3 player worked fine. Although if this was going to happen I would have preferred for it to happen in the US, where electronics are much cheaper...

About the laptop, I considered selling it immediately after it fucked up in July, but I didn't get around to it because I left the country a few days after it was sent back to me. I'll probably sell it when I go back to Houston to visit in March or April (if it lasts that long :| )
