It loves me… it loves me not 😉

I regret to have to let you know that my laptop is not yet fixed & will have to be taken back in tomorrow for a second more thorough check up so, I’m asking you to try & be patient with me until I will be able to come back with a fully functioning one.
I got an ACER Windows8 not even two years ago & it worked perfectly until now so you can understand my disappointment… I thought I could go on with it for at least three years plus, it is an expensive item & yet it’s manufactured to last less than toys do.
I’ll try & borrow one but it’ll only be useful for following & liking.
Wishing all of you the very best 🙂

I completely empathize! Our out of the box new desktop didn’t work in less than 48 hours… so frustrating!
Wow! And I was complaining 😉
Thanks for the feedback, it makes it easier to know we are not the only ones…
All my sympathy! we are slaves to these gadgets, and their bells and whistles – not everybody knows how to fix them at home, when they can even be fixed.
I try to remove as many bells and whistles as is possible when I have a new one, in the hope that it will simplify its performance … But I am still with a tower! Yr. post makes me shudder because it is becoming older and older. And there are problems with the software too. Now my Windows will not back-up any more – a ‘known problem’ but not any known solution to it. … AHHGRRR. Good luck and may the road to the computer fixing-shop rise to meet you, etc…
Thanks for your support! I was wondering… what are bells & whistles? I am totally ignorant about so many things concerning computers, I just get my way around WordPress,Google, YouTube & Instagram but the minute something unusual happens I’m lost for example when the computer has been reset after being repaired I have no idea how to put back all my facilities.
Well, might come a time where miracles will happen & I’ll know my way around it all 🙂
Very best wishes for a healthy happy year 2015!
Oh, ‘bells and whistles’ is a term that indicates all the extra programs that are added to a new computer – such as games for instance, or music, or introductions to programs that they want you to buy – stuff that one will never use but are scheduled to become active when the computer starts and can slow down the regular programs that the owner really is interested in …
There is a great newsletter, Google Leo Notenboom or Ask Leo! and set yourself up to receive his newsletter – I find it very useful.
Thanks for yr. wishes that I also send to you and yours.
I just have enrolled, thanks! I have taken out all the games too I hope that’s a good start, you’ve been a great help 🙂
Oh boy. Truly a lesson in patience. Hope it’s fixed soon.
Thanks! That truly means a lot 🙂
Gorgeous image!
Thanks! My appreciation.
wonderful bloom!
can’t argue
with a computer 🙂
Thanks! Indeed we can’t 🙂
Patience with a laptop? Surely you jest… 🙂 Join the club!

I am a novice & slowly learning about the computer world 🙂
I am technically challenged and I do believe at times the computer to be my nemesis! 😉
Oh! Did I spend hours of frustration until I accepted that not everything was under my control, that’s when I let go & did what was in my possibility… the way to a bit more serenity 🙂
Nevertheless it’s a constant reminder for practicing patience but sometimes I think that it’s the least of my worries when news become to painful & hard to follow…
There’s nothing like technology to push our patience to the ethers. Good luck. 🙂
Indeed it does but trying to teach myself to take it in my stride & in perspective 🙂
Thanks for the feedback it surely does help!
Thank you for liking “Jaquet-Droz Automata.” I am sorry to hear about your computer troubles. I can also relate to your disappointment about a relatively new computer breaking down on you. Since this post is dated January 8th, I hope your computer is up and running now.
Oh no! They are very slow in repairs. I sent it once, it wasn’t done properly & now it’s in for an additional three weeks! But they are worse worries in the world so I take it in my stride 🙂
Meanwhile, I have borrowed another laptop but it’s very limiting as I have no access to my files but maybe, just maybe I can outsmart the system & find a way to dish out from somewhere photos & publish a poem I’m in the middle of working on.
Thanks for your support, it means more than you know 🙂
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that! 😦
I am glad that you were able to borrow another laptop, but I know it is not the same as having your own computer. I hope they fix your computer right this time. I admire your patience. 🙂
Thanks! I appreciate your kindness 🙂
Hope your troubles with the laptop are soon over. Cheers 🙂 Irina
Thank you! The annoying part is when they say it’s repaired after 3 weeks of waiting & you have to send it back for further repairs…
I appreciate your well wishes & support 🙂
Been there, done that, got several T-shirts, so you have my heartfelt sympathy. I hope yours is soon sorted. My problem just now is the printer – brand new replaceement for a Canon under guarantee. Router replaced Friday and printer won’t accept wi-fi from it. Like a dog chasing its tail, it’s one darned thing after another!
Oh yes! I know that problem but I had my daughter sort it out 😉
I sometimes pity them, they are the ones who pushed me into the world of technology & now are having to pay a price!
I don’t know why but your comment went into “pending” hence my slow response, my excuses.
