OT: Why Oh Why

Atrocities · #1 July 8th, 2003, 07:21 PM

Why oh God why does it always have to happen to me? Back in 2000 I bought a nice new Zip drive. Never used it for two years, it was a bonus with the Wind2k operating system I bought from Office Max. Well Last year I hook it up and start using it. Today, for no reason other than to piss me off, it dies.

My CDRW will not work, my zip drive just died, and my Floopy says all of my disks are not useable. Do you think my system is trying to tell me something? I can't back crap up now. The best I can hope for is to spend the night downloading the Samsong drivers for my CDRW and hope to hell they don't crash my system. You know win2k is the most tempromental OS ever programed, and it likes to let me know this from time to time.

What about compressing and uploading your stuff while you reinstall?

That is not true. 2000 is the best MS OS to date.

Can't say I disagree with this, so instead I will asert that Windows ME is the worst, unstablest, most player hatingest OS that MS has produced in the Last decade.

The Star Trek Mod stuff isn't in any danger, right? We can't go through this two times in a row...

I'll jump in on the "trash ME bandwagon". And agree with Fyron's comment.

As to the other stuff, no, real men spend $50 on another spindle and just back up from drive to drive...

Which is why I immediately went out and bought XP when it became available.

The most utility with the least bloat.

If it weren't for obscure drivers, I'd be running 98 right now.
Instead, I'll be stuck using ME until I can stop procrastinating and hunt them all down.

Its got this wierd way, where it acts up and crashes and stuff right until I'm about to get mad and uninstall it... then it starts working nicely until apathy kicks in, and it can start causing trouble again.
