I REALLY HATE TECH STUFF RIGHT ABOUT NOW!!! :-@

As much as I looooooove technology and all the benefits it brings, right now I really, really, rrrrreeeeaaaaallllyyyyyyy HATE IT with a very great intensity!

My laptop broke down as soon as I got to London which, btw, is over 2 weeks ago and I am still not able to use it properly. I managed to get the Windows installed again, but now my audio driver doesn't work even if I keep downloading the driver from the manufacturer's support site and God knows what else isn't working (as you can imagine I am no IT connoisseur)...

And here goes a nice funny little story... again: I took my darling Streebor (who I know is in great pain for feeling like a cripple not being able to all the things he was able to do just a couple of weeks ago) to a laptop repair shop in the London's City that I found over the internet. And the guy checks it, out messes around with the keyboard, tries to reinstall the driver and ends up telling me that the sound driver won't work because it is not supported by Windows XP with Service Pack 2, but that I need to install Windows 2004 (not to mention I HAD Windows XP 2002 with Service Pack 2 installed before and everything worked perfectly...). So I leave the shop all happy that at least finally I know WHAT the bloody problem is, so I ask my friend Mohs if he could find me somewhere the Windows 2004 installation software. I will leave out the bit where I spent the whole day walking in central London in the rain with no umbrella trying to find a computer software selling store, only to find out in the evening from my friend Meysi that there used to be only 1 shop in the whole of central London selling software, but - guess what - they closed it down some time ago!!!

So anyway, Mohs calls me up a day later telling me that Windows 2004 DOES NOT EVEN EXIST!!!

So you tell me - who's nuts over here??? :-S
