The Geek Squad....sucks

Well, my laptop finally died. Windows 98 is but a fond memory to me now. The bad thing is when it died, it died. I cannot retrieve anything from it. Well, I could pay the Geek Squad 100 bucks to do it. I figure there is nothing on there that I can't live without. I hate the Geek Squad. I bought a new computer. Seems all new computers come with a bunch of junk on them that you don't want. In comes the Geek Squad... they will remove it for you!! They will optimize your computer, remove the junk and install virus protection. Wow... what a scam. But of course I paid it. What else you gonna do?
Windows Vista sucks. I can't find anything.
However, it is nice to have a computer that actually will bring up a website. This is quite a treat for me.
Things are just way more complicated than they need to be. And don't ask the Geek Squad to explain anything. They will talk a hundred miles a minute as if they are so damn busy they can't be bothered by you, and they are kinda snippy about it. the Geek Squad are asses and they really are a bunch of Geeks.
All my e-mail addresses are gone. It will be like Christmas Cards. If you send me an e-mail than I will have your address to write back. If you don't, then I must not really need your address anyway and that will end our one sided e-mail affair.
It's a new era for me. New car, digital camera, new phone, and now a new computer. I'm almost in this century.
I like being old school better. It was easier.
