Okay so I hate technology - that prob not the best opening sentence on a Computer and Gaming thread...
My poor poor beloved laptop died a death last week, it kept turning itself on and off at will, the screen would fail randomly and it would freeze anytime you were trying to do something important.
Hence the new shiny (possibly shitty - I haven't made my mind up yet) laptop...
But firstly Windows 8?! What the hell? What is this crap? Its almost impossible to understand!
I feel like its built to SHARE.
SHARE PEOPLE SHARE! SHARE EVERYTHING! SHARE ALL YOUR INFORMATION WITH EVERYONE ALL THE TIME!
I don't want everything linked together, all in sink (lol) ready to upload my million and one 'selfies' to facebook as soon as I get home...
Is there a 'normal please' button I'm missing? Can I make it not all flashy and extra random screen thing?
It doesn't make any sense - I don't even know how to find the simple things?
Okay that was basically a rant - but seriously does any one have any practical advice for me?
Will I get used to it? Should I just pull my finger out of my techno-hating ass?
Help!
