I thought computers were supposed to make our lives easier?<\/p>\n<p>I have activated my Windows at least. I called the Microsoft Psychic Hotline twice last night. But the automated system wouldn&#8217;t accept my installation ID. So I had to wait and call them again today to get through to a real live psychic. He told me my fortune and activated my Windows and everything was fine. So then I want to move some stuff over from the old computer. Well, not move exactly. &#8220;Copy&#8221; is more accurate. Cause I don&#8217;t trust my new computer yet. But copy some files shouldn&#8217;t be a problem. Right? Wrong. Now the damn thing won&#8217;t recognise my USB devices. My external hard drive. My old MP3 player that I now use as a memory stick. My joystick. None of the damn things get installed when I ram them in the USB port. Jolly rogers. It worked the first time I installed Windows. It worked just fine. Why not now? Why must it make me pull out my hairs and jump up and down and curse like a sailor in a liquor store?! Why must there always be something wrong, something in the way?<\/p>\n<p>Why oh waaahaai.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully I can figure out how to fix it. I need to be able to connect things via USB for chrissie&#8217;s sake. <\/p>\n<p>Maybe I should just buy a new computer.<\/p>\n<p>Or retire to Tamriel. I have gotten myself a nice house down by the Imperial waterfront. Virtual worlds are so much better than the real world. Do you know why? Because in a virtual world you can draw your steel longsword and hack stupid persons to death. In the real world you can&#8217;t do a thing to stupid people. In the real world stupid people start wars and let others die for them.<\/p>\n<p>And in the virtual world I&#8217;m not afraid to talk to others, which is always a plus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am Plume&#8217;s sense of spinning plates.
