(no subject)
I feel somewhat empowered having decided to buy (another) new computer after my new HP (purchased in March) has proven itself completely useless. It bluescreens constantly even after reinstalling windows! WTF. BOO. It's still under warranty, so technically they could send me a new one, but at this point I would never be able to trust anything they sent me.
Never buying anything but Dell again for a desktop PC, because even if Dell crams all sorts of undesirable programs into its installs, at least they reliably work for years.
At least I didn't nearly cut my finger off today like I did the last time it started bluescreening after I thought I'd repaired it. (Urgent care after three hours of ranting at tech support in India about your malfunctioning computer: not recommended.)
ETA: "Escalated" my case with HP to bitch with higher ups about $ and returns, bought new Dell with a notebook for $1,000. Ugh, with my $1,100 dentist bill, this is an expensive month. (Moving next month will probably be worse, though. So much for adding to my savings any time in the near future...)
