My Craptop named... um, Herbie. Feeling: My computer is evil. Or, rather, it's on strike. I spilled raspberry zinger tea on my desktop and was frantically mopping it up when I realized a bit got on my touchpad and clicker buttons. So I continued frantically mopping and tried using a hair dryer to dry it and used a needle to get any excess gunk out from under my buttons. I love my little craptop, I promise. But he's rebelling against the abuse and anytime I use my touchpad or click the buttons it will freeze up on me. This is not good. I can get around all right as long as I use only the keyboard, and it's lucky I know all the shortcuts, but there aren't anymore shortcuts to maximize a window because computer manufacturers assume that everyone aside from Boris the Yeti living with the goats on Mount Shamalamadingdong has a mouse. I even borrowed a mouse from Jae, thinking the spill was the cause (naturally), and it's still not working. The only reason I'm typing this now is because I walked all the way to the office where I work to use the computer there. (Yes, I am that sad of a mental case...) I swear, if I wasn't getting a new craptop next fall I'd stage a violent protest down at Tech Support.
