think Ill start saving pennies and get myself a new pooter. aside from the Word issues, the damn thing is a piece of slow-moving junk [see below]. if I start selling drugs down by the school, roll a few drunks in the park, and steal a few cars, I could prolly swing a major purchase such as a pooter before too long. thing is, those drunks better be loaded.

I cant recall exactly when I bought this unit, but Im pretty sure it is at least 5 years old, which makes it an antique by pooter standards. theres a nixon/mcgovern sticker on it, if that tells ya anything

the soundcard is busted/the monitor rolls and is coughing-up blood/ every program drags/surfing the internet is pure fingernails-on-chalkboard with the freezing-up and slow loading--and at least one total lock-up every few days.

maybe I can get one of those flat screens...

oh wel, just a little afternoon venting to take the stress out of my day

have a good day/night.....

:)
