A Fleeting Blogging Moment
Can we talk about how many "automatic updates" are going on these days? On a regular basis, my home computer gets slow and cranky and I get all impatient and then the telltale bubble pops up, telling me that the wireless mouse/printer/anti-virus/iTunes/what have you is updating and do I want to restart my computer now?
NO! I say. I close the window, say "restart later", and try to move on with my personal computing life. But it's like an alarm clock going off after repeated snoozes.
And thus: I bid you adieu for now. The computer is counting down the minutes before it automatically restarts.

Yes, yes! The updates are driving me mad. Software: be comfortable with yourself!
Regarding your recent comment, check this out. I hope you don't mind! Have a great weekend!
I NEVER restart when the computer prompts me to. I'm just too lazy for that.
Um, YES! That pisses me off to no end. After my boyfriend accidentally ruined his newish laptop, he had to purchase another. Sadly, this one came with Vista. And it is absolutely laden with pop-ups. Some programs even have a pop-up when you try to open it to verify that you actually DO want to use it. What the hell? Seriously. I want to chuck it across the room at least 10 times a day.
