Great. Now my Internet line hates me, too!

I mentioned some time ago that MSN hates me.

Now I’m equally convinced that the Internet landline itself is against me.

Why? Because it’s been disconnecting me from the WWW for two consecutive days!! Both times the symptoms were the same: First, a loss of MSN connection; next, failure to effectively post posts in forums; third, total loss of internet connectivity as well as the immediate freezing of all WWW panels.

To a heavy internet user like myself, who keeps more than 30 tabs and windows open at the same time just so she can get from one site to another in under 3 seconds, this is more than bad. It is a catastrophe!!!

Imagine this. You’re typing up your answer to a question on the, say, MUISS forum. It takes you perhaps 8, 10 minutes to write down all your deep thoughts and recommendations on that question. Finally, after lots of thinking and endless typing, you’re done. You hit the ’send’ button and wait expectantly for the window to renew itself so that you can go on to the next newest unread topic.

But what is this? You stare blankly at the screen, and then feel an upsurge of horror and medium outrage (born of ‘becoming used to being hated by MSN’.) The whole window has frozen!! You rotate your mouse over the page frantically, trying to save your work from being destroyed. You try to highlight your text and Ctrl+C it so that you can save it to wordpad or Microsoft Word.

Nothing co-operates with you, though.

Instead, the system reports an Error message and arbitrarily shuts your Internet Explorer down. *poof!* Your hard work has vanished down the drain. It won’t return with the next opening of a window like how errored Word drafts are handed up by your trusty Microsoft.

It.Just.Dies.

Heartbreaking, isn’t it?

Worse of all is that you can’t get online on anything after that, no matter what you do.

That means that you have to restart the computer.

So you save up all the other documents, ignore the fact that you were touching up a picture and doing some graphic designing on Photostudio, shut down remaining programs with a heavy heart, and then proceed to press on the ‘Turn Off Computer’ tab.

Only, nothing happens after that.

You have to manually shut your computer down–ie, do it the barbaric way and hold down the Power button for 3 seconds so that the system is forcefully shut down.

….

It’s sad, it’s painful, and I’m wounded.

Why am I being ganged up upon!!!

All I wanted to do is send out a post and chat with some friends!!!

Is that so hard for you to let me do??!

(note: this was supposed to have been sent out maybe 20 minutes ago; something didn’t allow me to. Guess what it was? ^-^ I had to retype the majority of this message since all that was saved by the autosave component of wordpress, was the introduction up to the word, ‘third’.)
