I hate blogs.

This post is definitely not to be graded.

So: Blogs killed my new computer. I now hate blogs. hate. Hate. HATE!

I think it was some sort of java problem. It all started when the version of my RSS reader ran out of time. I thought I'd downloaded the 'Lite' version, I guess not. When I downloaded the light version it wouldn't unzip--so I decided that I'd try another tool. I found something which would fold into my browser. Then things really went bad. Nothing would work, not Firefox, not Safari, not Netscape, not Explorer. My mail and IM programs worked. Skype didn't, nor did my peer-to-peer software (which I only use to share files with no copyright! This isn't a deposition! You can't ask me those sorts of questions! Get your hands off my purse!).

Now, a week and a half later--I've reinstalled my system software, all my programs from back-ups (which I'd only just made, since I just sold my old laptop). This is my first computer death since the 90s! Since I used Windows 3.1! I had to reinstall everything and I blame blogs. And I still don't have a working RSS feed reader.
