h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, I'm not prodigal, but I am returning home for the weekend, just as I do every weekend.

I need to do my laundry and mow the lawn, or else I will have no clothes and my dad will get pissed at me (for not mowing the lawn, not for not having clothes. all is naught).

I'll probably end up wasting the weekend on my computer, since it is powerful, and good. I think it has downloaded code into my brain from my ocular nerve to make me addicted to it. I wish I could bring my computer to work, it i so much better than this computer here.

A run down:
my computer:
CPU: PIV 2.4GHz
RAM: 256MB DDRRAM
HDD: 80GB + 28GB
GFX: Geforce 4
FAST broadband internet

this stupid computer:
CPU: PIII 450MHz (MHz? They don't MAKE computers that run at sub GHz speeds anymore)
RAM: 128MB
HDD: 7.85GB (though there is 620GB on the network drive. Still, it's slow)
GFX: NONE!!!
SLOW broadband internet

you can imagine my frustration. Even opening the right click menu can take up to 4 seconds. 4 SECONDS!!! EGAD!!!

I've been thinking of leaving my computer at home, and then use remote desktop to hook in and enjoy the power of my computer. But, that's a major security risk, and it'll probably not be that good, considering the poor connection quality here at work.

The internet connection is constantly going down. Down to where, I don't know, but it's gone long enough that it could have gone down to Georgia, and it better have, because there is NO reason it should be down THAT long.

Why am I writing this stuff for the whole world (or atleast the other poor slobs at H2G2) to see? Because I want my voice to be heard. Action needs to be taken against these poor excuses for government computers. I need a better computer, and I need it NOW. Only through activism will we get what we desire.

meh, whatever...
