My computer is dying. No two ways about it. Today alone I've had to use the task manager 3 times. I can no longer shut down voluntarily, I instead have to unplug the computer or wait for a system restart, and allow the timer to run out. The screen is broken down one side, so it looks like someone spilled ink in a big splotch on the right of the screen, and it's run to the edges. My hard drive is full, and I have to delete things when I want to update software. I am currently running without access to the start menu or the desktop because I didn't know why error messages kept popping up, and I closed the wrong system process. The only way I got Firefox working is by accessing it through the task manager's option for "new process."
My Dell has lasted me a strong 3 years, never failed me for a report, and very rarely crapped out at a crucial moment without just cause. It's simply time to upgrade, and move on. As soon as I can afford it, I'm going to buy a new computer. Preferably another laptop, but this time with cooling vents on the sides and top so I can keep it on my bed (apparently the only flat surface in my house not claimed by others or cluttered beyond recognition).
This is not a threat, or a rant so much as a promise and a reminder that my computer is no longer servicing my needs to its maximum efficiency.
That being said, I'm going to unplug my computer, and hope nothing important gets broken in the process. (For a geek, I'm fairly computer stupid)
