Ive been called technologically challenged.
I was not insulted then..but a little later (3 days) i realised it wasnt a great thing.. anyway..since i rarely have the energy to take up an argument with anyone but my brother..i dint..
but soon - i got my laptop!!!!
first of all - i had to consider the merits of this one vs that one.
40 GB???? upgradable????
then on to operating systems - XP vs Home? Pirated vs LIcensed?
finally - Processors - Duo Core vs Athlon????
Mom told me to get 60 gb, kichu licensed and my cousin - athlon. SO there it was - all ready shiny and new.
I take it to delhi..
around december - teh damn thing switches off and doesnt switch on...so i cautiously lift it..move it around a bit.. i wonder whether banging it with my fist would produce the desired effect - it seems to work very well on stubborn flushes!
decide against.
bring it back to kochi in the hols. meanwhile have struggled to finish assignemnts on time as im running between freinds laptop and the bloody city is so cols i dont want to take the freezing walk to the lab.
so in kochi. i call up the guy, make an appointment and carry it there. He looks at it for sometime, takes out the battery. He looks at it carefully. then puts it back.
THE DAMN THING TURNS ON!!!!!!!!
i hate technology.
Through a twist of fate - i now own kichu's camers fone with blue tooth technology.
I dont know what im going to do with it.

This reminds me of my first few days in my engineering comps lab. We had a Fundamental course on computers where we had to do a bit of basic programming. Once it happened that one of us was unable to work because his system was down. He called the instructor... The instructor (one senior) came and smiled at my friend and then hit the CPU making a huge sound... BANG! :P
It started working all over again... Is that also called technology???
i hv lso got smthn 2 share......it happened with my NOKIA 1100.....I desperately wntd a change of phn, but for the same, I should had lost 1100 smvere or got it broken or made it non-workable.......

nice post
the banker-lol, NOTHING can destroy an 1100! I had one till a few months back, and I had done all sorts of things to it...I used to drop it (at best) twice a day and (at worst) 10 times daily. The dam thing wouldn't even spill its battery! Lol.
Note: My drops were accidental :D I rather liked that model. I now possess a talking clock phone. Pshaw. I want my 1100 back :(
lol
