Computers Still Hate Me and Laugh at Me When I Threaten Them

I'm just delighted. My brand new (purchased Saturday) laptop computer, a Sony Viao, will no longer boot. I'm sitting at my wife's computer, growling and snarling like a rabid Jack Russell terrier, ready to launch myself at the little computer's small shiny screen and tear it to pieces. But, because I have promised myself that I will be mellow, I'll instead use this opportunity to practice meditation.

I'm back. It didn't work well, but I'm feeling a bit better.

Tomorrow, I'll finish up my conversations with Dell about my other dead notebook, then will give my pals at Sony a call.

C'est la vie, as some people might say. Or, as Roger Miller once sang, "You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd." I have a Roger Miller LP. One day I'll transfer it to an MP3 so that I can, if I have access to a working computer, I can pop it in and give it a listen.
