Today my office computer was officially pronounced dead. In the meantime, I'm working on a temporary machine from the IT department. This machine is far better because it more focused on quality. For example, it helps out in several ways:
After you type a word, the computer pauses for several minutes to truly contemplate the deeper meanings of the word and how to best display it on the screen.
If you want to visit a website, the computer will provide you extra pondering time to make sure you are mentally prepared to view the page.
Print jobs are rendered in a loving, patient way, which helps the paper understand that it needs to be truly dedicated to being the best paper it can possibly be.
In the meantime, I will investigate these strange objects lined up on the other side of my office. I have been told that they are similar to archaic data storage devices know as "books" which were stored on "bookshelves".
They may also be cuneiform tablets. I've heard they have a lot of those in Beirut.

while you are waiting for the British Museum to co-opt your office, maybe you could persuade your sensitive new device to help you tell the story of its predecessor's demise.
Was it murdered?
Did it die of old age?
Four fatal diseases?
Poor Matthew... My computer has developed a prodounced lag as well, my printer will only print your document if it deems your gift on par with what you have asked it to print and even then it might wait until you have given up on ever seeing your document again.
Ironically this machine is brand new and touted to be able to do all sorts of wonderous things... Unfortunatly the supplier who managed to sell it doesn't know how to work it and the manufactuer hasn't trained anyone it our area either.
Your computer sounds strangly familiar. I think you department stole my last computer and gave it to you. Sorry my friend!
LOL as the purchaser of computers for my place of employment I laugh hysterically at the speeds some of my co-workers have to live with because of my need to save money. I myself am upgrading to a second gigabyte of RAM next month... it does all come back to haunt me when I have to work on them though. **Sigh**
Sounds as if a good run at "Defrag" would help - but failing that, I'd say it's either running out of steam or building up for a harddrive breakdonw of majestic proportions - do a backup of anything important while you can!
