I have only recovered the pictures I had e-mailed. Oh, all those hundreds of pìctures you will never take again... After that, for a moment I thought about sending any picture I take to just anyone, lol, just to keep them in that limbo place that is your gmail account (by the way, Nathaniel, I sent you an e-mail -no, no pictures- just in case it is in your spam folder). But then, I discovered the wonders of USB pen drives and ever since, I keep thinking if this little wonder should replace La Pfeiffer in my own private altar.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I forgot, when the computer-fixing-guys sent me the budget, both DVD/Cd units weren't working either and I hadn't even noticed...<BR/><BR/>After reading/hearing such negative opinions on the Matrix series everywhere, I think I made myself a favour by watching only the first one. I've done the same with Star Wars, I haven't seen the prequels.<BR/><BR/>By the way, talking about computers and all that, I LOVED The IT Crowd show.<BR/><BR/>IggyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-48631886273524443992008-05-30T19:05:00.000-04:002008-05-30T19:05:00.000-04:00The worst computer malfunction I have ever experie...The worst computer malfunction I have ever experienced was the <I>Matrix</I> series.

My mom DHLed it to me a few days later, but the @$@$@ thing must have been pissed off at being vilely abandoned because when it arrived in Belgium it refused to start! Just an annoying "whirring" sound of trying to boot and not being able to. Despite candles to miraculous saints, deals with the devil and begging and pleading to university computer technicians, it was officially declared dead... and a replacement had to be found a.s.a.p. in order to continue writing my thesis. So a rainy return to Belgium after a summer in the sun was accompanied by a significant decrease in my meager savings, days spent transferring data from the external hard-drive to the new computer, finding software and learning how to use a Mac again after (suffering) 4 years on a PC.<BR/><BR/>Much happier now with my MacBook! May it never abuse me in such a vile manner! (at least not until I'm done with this bloody thesis)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-16037426400252547172008-05-30T10:46:00.000-04:002008-05-30T10:46:00.000-04:00LOVE the new banner, Nat.
