My roommates computer is acting up again. Its not mine (although I use it a ton) so I dont tend to do much maintenance work on it. If it was mine Id do more since if I fucked it up I wouldnt be screwing with someone elses property, but this is just getting ridiculous. I cant open new browser windows (sill getting pop-up though) or paste anything in a browser. This bit is the worst because I tend to do my blogging offline (so I can spell-check - I do care about you, dear readers) and then paste it into the blogger interface. No can do now. And responding to my Topica list is out because theyve never been able to receive anything Ive just emailed so I go through their web page which, of course opens a new window for you to write a response and thats not working now.
I also cant copy text from the web, which is getting to be a pain. I typed out the Salam Pax quote below which would have been much easier if I could have just copied it. Both that entry and this one were composed and saved and uploaded later, after I ran the most current Windows 2000 service pack (something I really should have been monitoring, but again, not my machine and I wasnt asked for help).
However, now the damned thing is asking for things on some program disk and the CD drive hasn't worked for ages. I'm at the end of my tether here.
Yes, I know, Im whining about the lack of something I didnt even have ten years ago. I cant help it, Ive become a slave to the modern world.
