RESISTANCE ... IS ... FUTILE



In inching up the techno ladder and digging that debt hole jus' a lil' deeper, I've gotten a serious desktop upgrade via Fry's, that Costco of Circuitry, that Mall-Wart of Geekdom. Yes, I've bagged a generic tower with Windoze XP. BUT, in my own defense, I did make sure I at least got one with an AMD processor and, basically, I can't say anything bad about it. Fucker's faster than shit exiting a goose. The reboot time on That Ol' Hewlett-Puckered was like 2 minutes ... maybe. The reboot on this is about 20 seconds. Sweet.



In Gates of Borg's increasing paranoia, the freakin' serial numbers for these XP systems are now BOLTED AND GLUED to the outside of every tower. See the Mark of the Beast above.



And here's one Plain Jane, generic box humming loudly under my desk ... the implants begin at midnight.

Remember the good old days (2000) when you could go get yer Windoze update and it would ... do something to hold off Win98's inevitable bi-annual meltdown for a few more months? Those days are over, friend. I buzzed over to the Microsoft update site yesterday and those bastards proceeded to try and download 20 megabytes of God-knows-what surveillance crap onto my machine! The outrage! The indignity! I cancelled the download.

I'd drive up to Redmond and lob eggs at the front gate of his estate but we're experiencing gale-like weather at the mo' and I might drown on the way to my car.

That is all,
