Double crap and triple crap.
CRAP!
I was planning to have my laptop repaired more than a month ago, but I had other matters to attend to. Then pre-residency started, and I had almost no connection with the outside world for a whole month. Whan I turned on my laptop a few days ago, everything seemed fine. I was plannning to back-up the rest of my important data before I had it repaired, but since it seemed fine, i was stupid enough to think that the machine was stable, and I can forego doing all those back-ups for a few more days. That's one devious little machine. Just yesterday, It wouldn't load windows at all. Another blue screen just popped up for a second or two, saying something like system failure and it shut down quickly. I turned it on a few more times, and the same thing happened. My laptop, my little machine that i once saw as a lifetime companion, a loyal buddy--- was acting like such a bitch! i tried doing the windows repair from the CDROM... that didn't work either. I wanted to throw the stupid machine across the room! I Still had a lot of important data stored in its innards! Then i discovered that it still worked--- as long as its in safe mode. I prayed that the CD writing function still worked even while on safe mode... and it did! Now I've been burning data for 5 hours, and thankfully I'm almost finished. Stupid little laptop.... or maybe stupid little windows... the machine seems to be in perfect condition except for the operating system. The Windows OS is famous for its frequent crashes after all. Maybe I should've bought a Mac instead... yeah, less people have macs, and incompatibility issues could arise when sharing files with peers, but at least those things seem to last longer before they start betraying you.
