Okay, fuck this update journal page. Fuck it right in the ear. I wrote this fabulous entry about how much I hate Dell, and it decided not to post it. What a cock. Anyways, the one thing I know about the laptop I will be buying is that it will NOT be a Dell, at least partially because I hate their advertising. That guy who goes around looking like a retarded ferret, saying "Dude, you're getting a Dell," should be shot. Either shot, or subjected to endless amounts of the "Xtreme" sports lifestyle he was carefully chosen to reflect. He would succumb to the concussions and frostbite sooner than I could empty a clip into his vacuous skull. Also, Dell has made people buy computers without doing any research on them and without learning how to use them. Case in point: Moire and Alissa. Now, I am not even close to being a computer expert, but I know enough to get around in my system, and to fix some things when they go wrong. One day when Moire asked for my help with her computer (me? why me?) I learned that not only was she unaware of the fact that you have to update windows (or any other software for that matter), but she did not know that she had to empty her recycle bin. Let the implications of that sink in for a moment, and then also consider that Moire is the girl who thought Feat was a rapper, and would probably have continued to do so had she not called out one of her boyfriends for not knowing who "Feat" was. Two entire years of deleted files and program updates later, I was dazzled by how little she knew about the laptop she had purchased. Alissa's wasn't quite as bad, but it still needed work. You know you're in a bad situation when I am the most tech-savvy person around. How does that even happen? I don't know. Maybe I'm elitist and snobby, but I put myself on a pedestal above Dell, and I am not about to step off it.
