I hate my father’s computer.

By The Eva Monkey on Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

First of all, I want to know who else on this planet besides my father uses a trackball mouse. There must be enough of them out there, otherwise they wouldn’t make them. Drives me nuts. Imprecise, gives me a cramp. And the trackball mouse is just starters. He’s also got his security so high that it prevents you from actually doing anything productive. It’s currently running Windows XP, and should either be reformatted or downgraded to something a little less beefy like 2000 Professional. And then there’s the graphical settings, such as large icons and huge font. He literally has every program icon on his desktop. He never figured out how to use the taskbar’s quicklaunch, and whenever I try to get him to use it, he has a conniption. His desktop frightens me.

I need a new computer. Badly. I need to be able to work on this site with ease again.
