Poorly PC

My PC is sick of me. I’m not good at looking after things, unless they demand my attention (Take me for a walk! Please can I have a cup of tea?) so my poor little passive laptop has just been used relentlessly, not nurtured, not defragged, shit, not even regularly backed up, and now it’s got sick. I knew it was getting old, five must be 103 in PC years, and I should have been a bit more caring. But the only symptoms were that it took a long time to turn on (familiarity caused me to not to take this too personally) and the “U” was temperamental (I assume there is a crumb or dead spider underneath it).

Now I’ve had to do emergency surgery on it. Safe Mode, Administrator, Copying Files. Eating my precious weekend away. I’m currently copying a folder that will take ‘about 4 hours and 17 minutes’ to move and this is one of twenty. I only wanted to do my blog and then stick Radio i-Player on while I tidied my room. I hope I can resuscitate it; the idea of being forced onto Windows 8 is  a very horrible one. The insanely irritating thing is I’ve just read IT’S MY FAULT. Apparently corruption was caused by me closing the thing while its antivirus was running. Ironic, eh?
