Rassen fratzen ratzen spit!
It's no secret that I hate my 'puter. If it can cause me grief it does [and is] but this time my dummy spit is about a program.
If I didn't have a 'puter, depression would drive me to pull out a deck of cards and play solitaire/patience all day [experience tells me this is so]. At least this way I can watch the world pass by as well [and the silverfinches at the window if I'm awake].
I'm not a great fan of computer games that are anything other than some sort of the solitaire/patience/puzzle variety. I also don't like the concept of being able to go and find 'cheats' to help you get past a section of a game that one has found to hard. It is just that - cheating! However, my problem at the moment is a program that 'cheats' on me.
Ok, so it didn't cost a fortune [one of those 101 puzzle and logic games CDs that only cost $10] and most of the games don't have any instructions but are easy enough to figure out the rules and I don't have the right hardware for one game but I can live with that [even if it does look to be one of the more interesting games on the disc]. The game I play the most however [trying to beat my own hig scores] has a nasty habit of changing the rules on me at odd moments and it pings me off. I'm further pinged by the fact that the on-line web-site doesn't exist [and never has for as long as I've had the disc.
Why does this keep happening to me. Even a simple thing like a basic computer game wont go right for me.
