Sometimes I REALLY hate computers because I look like such a doof! I just uploaded Chapter 3 of Maedhros' End. This chapter is formated exactly like the previous two chapters. But does it come up as they did? NOOOOOOOOO! It looks like I'm trying to make it look like a poem rather than a story. Head bang And the thing that absolutely gets me is that it will turn out to be something so simple that a toddler could figure it out. Embarassed

This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy about computers. Sheez! I did all the html stuff and it still won't behave. Has anyone any sage advice for me. I truly....really.....know nothing about this kind of thing. Especially since I didn't type or save the chapter any differently than the others. Here I'm supposed to be an intelligent woman of the world and all I want to do is place my eager hands around the neck of my computer and slowly tighten until it DIES! Arrrrgh! Jeep

Sorry for the rant...just having a moment.

Breathing in and out...slowly.

Thank you,

*smites all the naughty computers around the world*


I know EXACTLY what you mean. I broke my AIM (For the millionth time) but it wasnt my fault, naturally. So I called up my live-in computer nerd and he had the audacity to ask me what I did. When it was so clearly not my fault!

Naughty!!!

Use the following instructions:

1 Open door wide (if no door, window will work just as well)

2 Take computer and hold it out in front of you

3 let go of the computer

4 as computer is dropping swing back leg and make contact with the computer and your foot

5 watch with a feeling of self justice as computer goes flying through the air.

This is known as the "I have had it with this thing" punt.

I had to go buy another laptop yesterday because my hp stopped working. Smash
