Technically Speaking....

[christyb]

I'm wondering how many people are labeled (like me) "I love my computer but I abuse the crap outta it!" You see I accidentally dropped my Macbook on concrete (zipper on my backpack gave out), it's scratched, dinged, sticky from coffee syrups, you name it. I love my machine but I treat it terribly. Anybody else do this? And yes this is a pointless thread. Oh yeah and more tech stuff. I went to sign up for Yahoo Messenger today (finally gave in) and realized something...someone already had my ID name...which is my full real name. So I started wondering and typed in my general password and guess what....it's an old email of mine from way back when. I really should write these things down...and stop posting pointless threads. So c'mon guys confess...someone has to be abusive to computers. I can't be the only one!

Well, my notebook froze up on me and the people and best buy tell me that I need a new hard drive, but they can't fix it or give me the parts sense I did not buy it from them! I loved that thing!

I try to treat all of my electronic goods with as much TLC as I can!

Me too! I getting my Notebook fixed and upgraded today and I'm so happy about that! It'll be awile however.

me too! .. although my computer has been having troubles lately anyway.. but as long as it starts, I'm not going to be too concerned about it

I try also, but I seem to be accident prone.

I AM accident prone, but not when it comes to things like this, I'm more prone to accidents like tripping, slipping, falling and things like that.

I loved my old laptop to death but treated it horribly.

My new one, which I'm using now, I treat a lot better. The screen may be a bit dirty but at least I haven't dropped it a gazillion times!

Physically I treat my computer like gold, but I download so much crap that if it weren't for virus protection, I'd be screwed. I've actually lost three computers to viruses, but now that I have my new G4 Mac Powerbook, I take care of it mechanically as well, mainly because I coughed up all the dough up front. It's different when you only pay a little each month, it doesn't seem as bad, but when you just toss a huge chunk a change for something, you feel more protective of it.

I know, I should be better. I take my machine everywhere and work on things constantly...hence the sticky spots or slight grease (trust me my real life friends are amazed at this thing) what can I say? My Macbook Pro is living proof of the quality of Apple products. So between me being accident prone and having to work whenever and wherever I have internet access. Accidents happen and I tend to be abusive.
