I'm pretty convinced that all technology has come together and made it their mission to hate me.
My father is somewhat of a hipster. He tries to do things that aren't the normal things to do. In Danville, CA, having a Mac or a MacBook is typical. So just to be different, Gary buys PC's. When I say "buys", that infers frequent purchases. You want to know why so many investments? Because Windows 7 is a disaster, along with the PC's that they run.
My laptop PC stopped working the other day. It just stopped. Umm, why? I cant figure it out. Guess I don't have a computer anymore. In fact, "we have five computers in our house, and only two are reliable", according to Gary.
Susan has a Mac desktop. My father bought it for her because she is even more technology challenged than me, and deep down... Gary knows that the Mac was the better purchase in the end. We aren't allowed to use the Mac though, only my mother. So now the other four members of the Galindo household are down to one computer. The very one I'm typing on. The other three are lining up waiting their turn.
Computers aren't the only thing that I have trouble with. Ive had two iPhones stolen from me. I know they didn't just stand up and walk away, but after losing two of them, it begins to seem like a valid possibility.
I'm on my third iPhone and after updating it with the iOS 5 Apple update, I lost half my contacts, photos, and messages. I'm not going to sit around and cry about it, but I'm obviously frustrated!
Apple didn't do the best job with the iCloud though. That one isn't my fault.
Before the iCloud, I had 66 contacts in my phone. Most of the people in that list I didn't even want to be in there. After the iCloud: I had... wait for it... one thousand four hundred and sixteen contacts (1,416). Okay, I'm sorry, I didn't even want the people on my old contact list and now I have more people then Ive ever met in my life?! Unacceptable.
I really have to stay away from all screens, maybe read a book or something.
