Why I Chose Plan to Button

A personal story in the experience: I Am Not Speaking to My Computer
H ello! I chose the Plan To button on this Group because I plan on

temporarily stop speaking to my PC.

My PC has been running pretty slow so I plan on making it jealous so

that it smartens up and starts working a little harder for me.

What I plan on doing is have my TV on well I am working on my computer and when ever a Mac commercial comes on I will push my mouse away – swivel around and pretend that I am interested in the commercial.

They play a Mac commercial about a 100x a day so I bet by the end of the night my PC will be purring and files that couldn’t be found will be re-appearing.

This won’t be the first time that I got the best of an inanimate object –

once I gave the vacuum cleaner a complex by telling it that it sucks.

Cheers and happy almost week end!

Hello! I thought that I would up date my story.
The other day I started watching the Mac commercials figuring that my PC would get jealous of me looking at another computer and then start working a
little harder for me.
But it back fired my PC has slowed way down and today I noticed a link to a nerd Forum (in my favourites list).
I didn’t add it – I think my computer did and I think it’s going there well I am sleeping and its looking at other nerds and is starting to drive me crazy. Cheers!

Us PCs have a 2 sayings and they are “alls far in love and war far”
and “knowing some ones pass words means never having to say your sorry”.
Nanoose will have a bit of a surprise the next time he checks his bank account and if that cheating S.O.B tries to use his credit card to buy a scanky Mac he will have another surprise. Nanoose’s PC

PS - he stole that cheers saying from me

I have (anonymously) suggested a weekend retreat
but he had other plans (probably shopping).
As far as the premature shutting down and the not being able to get
things done goes - do you know how long it’s been since he gave me
a good old fashioned disk defragment?
Do you know how long that I have been hoping that he would surprise
me with a
high speed Internet connection?
I used to figure we were made for each other but I just don’t know anymore.
We PCs have another saying and it is –
00000111111111000000011001100111111111111011000001111111111110

which roughly translates to –
“We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun” Nanoose’s computer

PS: Nanoose didn’t really steal that cheers saying from me

But I am afraid – what if I fall into the wrong hands?
What if a hacker gets a hold of me and makes me do things I don’t what to do?
What if I go into a home with children and they get cookies and cake all over my
key board? At least Nanoose is neat and he cleans my screen ever now and then.
Us PCs have another saying and it is –
0000011111111010100000000000000000000111111111111111010100000111

000001111111111111110101
And it roughly translates to – “you don’t know what you got till its gone”.
I would like to give Nanoose another chance (if he will still have me).
Sincerely Nanoose’s computer.

OMG he surprised me with a new mouse pad today I feel like the luckiest PC in the word.
Nanoose certainly is a handsome and charming guy but those qualities aren’t going to do him much good in jail. So the “grafting” thing will have to be handled delicately.
I just had a look in his dodger file and he is expecting a few extra seeds this year – he is also quite generous so maybe I can talk him into sending you some.
(seeds would be easier to ship)
It won’t be until September when his plants mature but they will be worth the wait because they will be Burmese seeds and a very rare 60 day Mighty mite
cross seeds. Cheers!
