Guys and computers!

What is it with guys and computers?? Why do they insist on changing something to make it better when inevitably it makes it worse!!! I just don't get it! It always happens. They install something to make it run better/faster or whatever and it ALWAYS ends up doing the exact opposite! Can someone please explain!! :hehehe:

Well, what drives us men is the thought that it will make it better. Bill Gates shatters our dreams and makes it worse

We mean well!

I agree with Heep here. Bill Gates fucks it up for all of us.

To kinda answer your question, We want better, faster, newer [even if it truely isnt better, it just says it it ]

Ive cocked-up more computers than you can imagine trying to "make it better", but after working as a techy part time for 6months I now learned to find something that works and then stick with it and not fuck with it.

Im smarter now. upgrading or installing something to make it better or faster only happens after it is tried, tested and truly does what it is supposed to, and does it well.

Its just the need for "better, faster, newer" that drives us that way, even if it isnt actually better.


Im done repeating myself now

Hey now, FTO Girl.... This is a family-oriented show. Let's keep it clean!!! Besides, I don't think your hubby will appreciate you having a choice whenever the computer/dishwasher/TV/car is actin' up.

He: "But honey, I was CERTAIN that this download would make the computer run better....

She: "You big GUMBY!!! You've fudged it up AGAIN!!! Think I'm going in the other room with HummerMan. At least HE understands!" *sigh*

Obviously, a women would say something like that. Seeing as women know nothing about high tech devices, it's THEIR fault the computer fucked up. What gave you the idea to flash the BIOS?! Leave it alone when I put a new chip in, damn it!
