technology has it's problems too

As with all things, technology has it's problems. I got a virus on my computer that basically took over the whole computer and made me so angry. Needless to say, I ended up calling Hewlett Packard/Compaq to find out what to do, only to learn that I had to get a warranty for $114.00 to even ask them what to do. It is for one year, so that is cool. But after asking the questions and the technician not being able to help me, they told me to sign up for their program, tune-up. That costs $59.00. Then they directed me to do a system recovery. I did it and lost all of my material that I needed including my Microsoft program for word. I did not renew my contract when it expired from my 60 day free offer. Anyhoo, I had to do at least two system recoveries and then add back on all of the programs like my printer, the external disk holder and other necessities. It amazed me that we have to spend so much money on virus blockers, spam blockers, etc. only to have an advanced hacker break through anyway and do what they want. Well, I say that everything has it's problems. COmputers may be great, but they come with a whole set of problems that costs more than we could have imagined. Well, I guess there is a price to pay for everything, so why not get what you want. Talk to you next time. SMOOCHES. Surabi
