The Minds Labyrinth

Part One Part Two Disclaimer, this post contains a few tasteless STD jokes about a computer....reader discretion is advised. Look what's back, another bad luck computer rant! So after breaking two computers last year and going laptopless for a few months I got this little netbook named Mavis. Mavis is a pro, she can run games that a netbook shouldn't but she has one fatal flaw. Mavis is a virus whore.  She likes them, attracts them, sells her body for them. No seriously. I have no bad habits when it comes to computers. I defragment every two months and virus scan once a week.

Convince myself that once this computer breaks I won't get a new one, after all I can never find anything to do on it anyway, right? Step 3: Computer breaks, initiate freak out mode "Whatdoido?! whatdoido?!". Proceed to get frustrated and preform major computer heart surgery, screwdriver stat! Step 4: Get computer fixed and start from step one. This happened this week, in fact. I had stupidly left my laptop on a bed and came back an hour later to find it completely frozen.
