Blah!
My mom gave me a new acer laptop for my birthday and I know she only meant to make me happy, but I finally sat down and looked at it and so far... I hate it.
I don't care if it's much more powerful than my old laptop Leon, the setup of Windows 7 drives me crazy, and not in a good way.
It's so ugly. I can't stand looking at it, and what little I've seen of the normal functions seems dumb to me. Why in the world can't I kill the sound like I can on Leon? Having to turn it down to 0 is idiotic. Maybe there's a way to change some of the things that makes me hate it for no logical reason, but the truth is that I've used Leon for so long that I'll probably never be happy with anything that works in a different way, even if it is better.
I didn't even WANT a new laptop, Leon still works fine, and I don't need all that extra place and stuff. I feel really ungrateful saying that because I'm sure there's people out there who's really like an upgrade like that. And now I'll have to either tell my mom that I can't stand Neil (the name of said new laptop) and that the stupid guy who sold her the thing can go to hell because I don't WANT a lot of stupid new functions and I'd rather stick to my 5 year old dinosaur until it explodes or die in some other final way (not very nice)... or I can pretend I don't mind it and force myself to occasionally use Neil until I figure out a way to make him look and act like Leon (probably impossible). There's a reason I've refused to update windows on Leon as well as pretty much anything else. I don't like updates.
...I don't like changes.
The thing is, I thought I'd feel bad for abandoning Leon, but now I feel bad for hating poor Neil who can't help being like he is. My computers develop a personality pretty quickly it seems, or I just act like they have feelings.
