Rant of the Day
DON'T FIX IT IF IT AIN'T BROKE!!!
Why do people insist on fixing things that they know little or nothing about? Especially when there's nothing wrong with them in the first place? My ex husband visited here in October (for those who don't know, he lives in Ontario, and I live in Alberta, visiting back and forth occurs between him and our teenaged son on a regular basis) and decided while he was here that there was something wrong with the computer, so he 'fixed' it.
Only now, it freezes even more often than is to be expected with Windows ME, the sound doesn't work half the time, (when it does, it spends most of the energy on an ear-shattering squeal that won't stop unless we re-boot) and the RAM can't keep up like it did before the 'fixing'.
It would make so much more sense to just leave well enough alone, but NO!! he's got to prove that he's a computer geek, and knows what he's doing... unfortunately for us, he doesn't!!
So now, I have to get my info backed up onto disks, and reformat the damned machine just when I was getting into getting things done.
Have you got any idea how frustrating it is when you're trying to get some writing done and just when you're on a roll, the computer freezes?
Oh yeah, I should be saving everything on a regular basis, I know, but sometimes I forget when the story is flowing - time seems to stop, and thats exactly when the 'puter will freeze on me!!
AAAARRRRGGGGG!!
So the point is, if it ain't broke, leave it the hell alone!!!
Just leave it be.
Even if it isn't a computer.
It applies to everything.
If it's not broken, DON'T fix it!!
