Gateway to Computer Hell

Gateway computers suck! I am not even kidding. I have never felt so blessed to own a Mac. I pretty much am in love with Steve Jobs right now.

Why all this hate you wonder? Oh well, after spending a morning at church and at lunch ( this is a hilarious and very deserving post that is coming soon, but this computer problem is horrible). My grandma's computer was not working after she shut it down, and was mad at me because she thought that my ethernet cord somehow had to do with the demise of her computer. So for hours and hours (this is not an exaggeration) I tried to fix this stupid gateway computer. Gateway sucks - You can not call a technical support without buying it, and you the only option for help after the 2 year warranty is to talk to someone in India over a chat in which the merely foreword the same thing you looked at on the website. It was no help at all and very disappointing.
                                                              "Problem of the Day"

So I am pretty sure it was a harddrive problem or something. My grandma the whole time was telling me that she does this all the time and it never does this. Then she goes on to tell me that her computer is brand new and top of the line  therefore it should not be breaking (she got this computer 3 years ago). So after hours and hours I gave up.

Then my grandma goes to turn it on and it starts to freaking work. Yes, we had to reload all of windows and all her programs were erased and her computer is now running on bios and not the harddrive, but she got it to work. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? I HAD DONE THE EXACT SAME THINGS FOR HOURS AND HOURS AND THEN IT FINALLY WORKS!

All I know is that it is 2:20 am and I am just going to bed because once we got the computer going we couldn't get the computer to pick up wifi.  Once we plugged my ethernet cord so we could get internet We looked on HSN for a half-hour. Now I am trying to relax from this crazy day.

The bright-side of this day is....
1. I do have a hilarious story that will be told soon.
2. I learned blackzebra is the best password ever.
3. I have realized my love affair with Eduardo

                                         This is Eduardo. I love him. I am thankful for him.
