After going through the boot process, and after linking my camera to 'Duffy', I was presented with many colourful stripes, lines, & odd little cubes. At 1st I thought maybe I bumped my bag & screwed up a connection in the screen of my laptop.
Ohh, I was so wrong:
- Connect to TV - fun little squiggly lines.
- Connect to external monitor - same crap as what is on the laptop screen
- Thump it like I am playing bongos for Miami Sound Machine - I might get the screen clear enough to shut down without pulling the power & battery
- In the BIOS screen it will freak
Within 3.5 hours of buying it, I had to reload the piece of shit twice.
And WHO THE FUCK WOULD SET ASIDE KEYS BY THE ARROW KEYS DEDICATED TO PRODUCING THE CHARACTERS € AND $???????
I do not give a rat fuck about using the 'euro symbol', and the fucking dollar sign is 'shift+4'!
I do not know of anyone THAT FUCKING STUPID!
[actually, I do, but they will remain nameless. Unless they decide to leave the range of the ankle bracelet detector].
Another thing is even though I have my external mouse plugged in, if I just slightly brush against the POS touchpad, I end up opening a ton a crap while I am typing, which begets more windows, which begets even more windows, etc, etc, and so on.
But, even Microsoft admits Vista sucks ass, & we will all have to "upgrade" again in 6 years.
Sounds to me like another Win ME/screw the pooch/take it in the ass situation for the minions of gates.
But, I really cannot return this bastard child of acer. I don't want to have to deal with porting shit over for a while.
That is, unless I find the dumb-fuck that designed this laptop.
Blessed Be, And don't buy into the bullshit that Mr. Bill tells you.
