Okay I give up! The laptop spontaneously rebooted again tonight. I am returning it. Which means I get to start all over again and set up a new one for the third time.

Meanwhile the black blotches on the old one's screen are getting bigger and earlier today its power cord stopped working for a while.

Have I mentioned that I am required to provide my own pc for my job? If I can't get a new one to work reliably very soon I will be forced to waste vacation time or take leave without pay.

Meanwhile my printer has gone haywire. I have brand new ink cartridges in it but for some reason the blue and magenta are empty. So I selected the grayscale setting and it printed out everything in orange. And p.s. those ink cartridges were not cheap!! I could seriously buy a new printer for less than I paid for the ink.

It's late, I need to go to bed and I am really angry at these machines. [insert your favorite cuss words here.]

p.s. I'm going for a bike ride tomorrow!!!!!!!!
