The evils of a faulty OS
In the last 4 months, I have had to install Windows 4 times because of one screwup or another. This time, it's because Win2000 Pro locks up approximately every 45 minutes. Just freezes the screen and waits patiently for me to hit the reset button.
Evil.
Now I have to copy all my files to another drive, delete what's on this one, format the drive and reinstall Windows. Except this time, I'm rolling back to Win 98. It was just mildly more stable than Win 2000 proved to be.
But what KILLS me about the whole thing is that I have to reinstall all of those programs again. I have to log in to all of those websites again, I have to set all my preferences again. Crap! It might seem insignificant, but imagine if someone stole your computer right now. No planning, no warning, just *poof* and it's gone.
It ends up taking weeks to get everything going again because you forget that you didn't install this app or that plug-in.
What a freaking hassle. I should create a site that saves all your preferences, passwords, application settings, fonts, cookies, bookmarks...everything. I could call it recover.net or something.
