Computers can be annoying at times

I see your point and I agree. Computers are very useful and mostly important in our current lives, but that also comes to a cost, not only in money but also in the maintenance those machines request from time to time. Myself had a bad time yesterday casually, trying to repair a power supply cooler giving an annoying noise, only to come to the conclusion I must replace the power supply altogether (yes, a saturday at 10pm).

Yeah, although somputers aremade to make life easier, sometimes they cna be very annoying wehn we get virus, or some part of the computer gets broken. We spend lots of money and we even get stressed out if it's not fixed immediately- we have to back up, clean, etc...

Wow! That's certainly a lot of computer problems that you have faced. I have never faced any of those problems whatsoever and I've had my computer for a long time. In relation to your first problem that your monitor short circuited? Did you have a powercut or anything like that at the time? In relation to your hard drive, I suppose there is the chance that they will malfunction at some point. Mine never has. A really crazy question for you. Was your pc ever dropped or bumped accidentally whilst it was running? If data is being written to the hard drive then this can definitely cause the hard drive to crash and the disks inside will be damaged. I think this is top of the list in terms of main hard drive crashes. It does sound as though you have been very unlucky though. Andrew

I've had NONE of those problems. Do you want to know why? Ok, well... It's because... I have a Mac (Macs don't usually have those problems)! It is true that even my 6-7 years old Mac laptop works "flawlessly" and can even run Snow Leopard (the newest Mac OS, but NOT the Lion one).
