Bloody Windows O/S.

[padi56]

Isn't it about time that computers were intelligent enough for us to have a bloody argument with them?

Instead of that very annoying, b@st@rdly horrible "ding DING" noise that happens at the same time a window pops up and has a Queenie screaming fit like "Your computer is crap. How do you expect a darling like me to work, with such a crap terrible setup as
this?. - click "OK" or "Cancel" - how about another button labelled "Argue or Why"?

Typical example - I have a digital camera, which I connect to my USB2 port to download the pictures from. But every bleeding time I try to do it, I get "ding DING" - "You're camera would download much faster if you connected it to a UBS2 hub - click 'OK' or 'Cancel' "

It IS a bloody USB2 hub you annoying tw@t, and what's more it DOES download faster than a USB1 port. AND YOU bloody WELL KNOW IT!

Surely computers are now intelligent enough these days to cope with an 'Argue' button? If, instead of just the "OK" or "Cancel" button, we had a "Argue" button as well, we might be able to bleeding put the bloody useless boxes of P/C boards and soldered metals in their rightful place.

However would like to see an "Why" button for when Explorer decides it wants to be difficult or Shell32 wants to throw a spanner into Explorers works."Explorer has encountered a problem, explorer will now close"Ask it why, I'd love to see it wriggle out of that one.


I had a great conversation with the fully computerised Ikea Assistant on their website the other day. She
understood every little piece of half digested carrot I was throwing at her, and took it all in good grace. (annoyingly) - so why the fek doesn't Windows have this sort of technology?

For hells sake, if a bloody computer can be solely responsible for our missions to the outer reaches of the solar system, surely the bloody things can take the odd verbal lashing at it from time to time?

Can you imagine this below.

Well Padi, I must agree on this one.

I recently had my video card die, so when I had it replaced I asked for a DVD burner to be installed. When I got the machine back, I was able to burn data DVD's to back-up files, but despite my best efforts I can't yet burn a DVD with actual video on it to play on a DVD player. I get to the point where it's supposed to start burning, and it sits there........

Recently, I have had windows explorer give me the same message you are talking about - it needs to close. Well, I hoped that a reboot would resolve that, but not really.....

I don't think I really ask much of my machine......read emails, surf the web for porn (watch porn, that is), burn the odd CD, and video capture and burn the DVD....hopefully, some day.......then a bit of word processing here and there. Yet it seems the machine is ticked with me, and some days just won't cooperate no matter what.

First thing I do when I get a new machine is turn off all the noises, like the dings and dongs, and windows start up "music". That saves a lot of mental teeth gnashing whenever the machine boots or shuts down or does anything out of the ordinary.

I have not encountered the problem of Explorer deciding it's had enough and shutting down on its own. But my wife's machine has been suffering from that syndrome of late. I thought it was just her machine. Glad to know she's not alone.

Our machines are getting a bit old (mine's about 3 years old, her's is about 5) and I'm thinking of replacing them. I usually get a new machine when the old one fills up with too much crap. It's easier than cleaning out the hard drive and reformatting the whole thing.

I wish i could go the Mac route.
But all my business software needs windows.
Sighhhhhhh

Would agree Mac O/S is much better than Windows,but the lack of software lets it down.
