Computers and the internet

I hate security center pop ups. I never know what to trust so I cancel out of everything. I have 3 or 4 popup blockers running on my PC and I still get pop ups for dumb crap.

You know what else I hate? I hate when I try to log into myspace and it says "You have to be logged in to do that!" UUUHHHH!!! I hate that crap. Don't mention the obvious, I can't save my password because I share my computer. Every day I have to type my password over and over, "You have to be logged into do that!!"

I have numerous "toolbars" on my Internet browser. I thought they would be cool. half of them are hidden. - Yahoo, Google, myweb search, Zwinky, RSS feeds, I need 2 monitors to see the actual Internet. And what do these bars do? I don't think I use them, except Yahoo. I love Yahoo the most. Yahoo 360 is so way better than My Space.

I saw an add for the HP smart phone. I don't know. I think the i Phone is better. I almost bought a Sony Cloe once. I made the mistake of buying a Sony Vaio (Video Audio In Out); It is OK, but it is a pain in the a**. I can't update drivers, I had a problem with the keyboard. I had to Jerry rig the space bar because it sticks and it didn't work for six months. I kept rebuilding the OS because I thought a patch was blowing away the keyboard driver. I think what happened was some obscure scroll lock key got turned on when I applied a patch to it. I gave it to my sister. She loves it. Good for her.

I use to have a Macintosh power mac. I have 2 of them actually. both running an obsolete OS - MAC9. they should call mac10 Darwin, because it evolved right passed my version and now they sit in the attic (which is really more like a large closet) some kind of computer limbo, with old 486 machines and boxes of newspaper articles and crossword puzzles.
