You forgot just one tiny thing.

"Watch Windows crash after every step."

 

I am a happy camper my daily routine starts some hours later

 

And...if you happen to be running an older version of windows (9.x)

Install updates,
Restart,
"Windows Has restarted, Please Restart for changes to take affect"

 

And the way they go about it.it makes you feel as if you are an idiot..

"Your computer may be at risk.aantivirus may not be installed"

"Would you like to restart now?"

and such

oh, and each day you have MSN Beta installed, you must download a new patch to fix an error in the last patch to fix an error in the last patch to fix an error in the last patch to fix an error in the last patch to fix an error in the last patch ..........

 

LOL...we may even have things like this:

<Vulnerability is exposed, patch is released 6 months later>

"This patch is assured of quality and reliabilty as it has been in testing for six months now. Please note that Windows XP SP2 is required in order to install this patch"

and even this:

<During Windows Update>:

"Important critical updates found. Do you want to update now?"

After downloading updates:

"Your version of Windows 9x/ME is no longer supported by Microsoft. Please upgrade to Windows XP in order to continue."

LOL...

Oh and THEN they mention the patch does not work with windows XP, lol.

 

Day 6.
Reformat HDD under NTFS becuase FAT32 is no longer the "geeky-cool" thing to do, MS recommends NTFS.
Reinstall windows.
Reset your calendar to Day 1.

 

But hey, on the positive, an old bonus still hasn't been solved:

There's still plenty of time to make yourself a nice cup of coffee (between each of the necessary steps!)

Because let's face it: what's a daily routine without any coffee?

[MOVE]
Always look at the bright side of life, people!
[/MOVE]

 

Yah, but then whilst you making the coffe you come back to the pc, which has decided to crash coincidentally whilst you were making coffee

 

And the crop's al a creme' do not even provide the bonifide xp software to reinstall. One must perform a complete reform to factory settings. This will occur, that is, if the hard drive is able to read data from the new "blank media restore" disks!

 

ROFL *literally*

it is like an endles loop..

 

you mean Java, of course!??

 

Then you go to download Java, and it says "to download java, you need the following:" and it lists all these new plugins.....

 

You guys are killin me . ROFLMAO

 

And the plugins tell you to download patches before installing the plugins. The patches say 'Java required'......Life goes on

 

And then Java hangs your FireFox browser...
so that you are now at the mercy of a certain William Henry Gates III, and his not so bright programming team.

Ain't computers just grand? I spend eight hours a day on this olé thing, about half an hour a day I actually get to use it for fun things.
