A New Relationship

So, because I'm going to University in a couple of weeks, I needed to buy a laptop, which I was not looking forward to. I know some people get all excited about new gadgetry, but for me, it just means several weeks of shouting at screens mocking me with their not-workingness. It's not that I don't like change, it's just that I only like it when I'm ready for it. My current computer rarely irritates me, it has the past four years accumulation of photos, music, Favourite websites, programmes and games on it. I know it back to front, I know where to find everything and I know that turning it off and on again will almost always fix whatever issue it's having. For this reason, my new laptop was sat in it's box gathering dust for a good fortnight before I had a tantrum with my computer (it wouldn't let me iPlayer Doctor Who. Some things are just out of order), stomped downstairs and cracked it open.

So far (about an hour later), our relationship has been touch and go. It let me watch Doctor Who with no problem, the internet works pretty fast and the keyboard and I are getting on like a house on fire (very important for someone who spends as much time writing nonsense as I do). However, the favourites drop-down is empty and on the other side of the screen (an annoyance), there are currently none of my iTunes or files on here (a problem) and my beloved Google has been replaced by Bing (a true tragedy).

But we're working things out, and I think at some point I might even find myself able to commit to this laptop. My computer will always be my first love, and have a special place in my heart, but the laptop is younger, faster, prettier and can be used whilst in bed (mind out of the gutter, please). And even though it keeps making strange beeping noises I don't understand, I think - one day - it might just be love.
