My Hewlett @ss Packart (yes that language is necessary). Is acting up again. It's having the same problems it did last year. Last Summer it took HP 3 months to fix it (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . I'm going to see if I can get them to replace it-they refused to do that last time. In the mean time my internet access might be limited. Of course it's not as if we need a huge team of moderators. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Needless to say-I'm building my next computer.

It's got Mac OS9 which I swear is just like windows 3.0 or 3.11.  It's so hard to use when you're used to windows '95 style/xp.  I don't know how these computers are considered easier to use.

Macs are very popular among artists, but not engineers. They appeal to a very different mindset.

A few years back, we had to use a Mac to reproduce a customer problem. "The" Mac guy was gone, and even with a whole group of engineers standing around it we were really struggling with operating it. I'm sure a 4 year old child would have been able to help us. Surely there was config file buried in there somewhere that we could edit (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Heck, I feel put out when I have to limp along with Windoze instead of Linux.

That's the funny thing though. Although I'm a mechanical engineering major I took a lot of art during hs and did a bunch of oil paintings lol. I never could understand the abstract stuff so I'm glad I went into an engineering program.

Eugenio-I've got three to four (depending upon how many my g/f let's me go to) autocrosses in a row right now (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I promise I'm not neglecting my car.

Steve-that was the first thing I did. I've reformatted this computer's hd so many times it's not even funny. That was hp tech support's solution to everything-which I cannot really disagree with. However, they wanted me to reformat it multiple times which never made any sense to me.

I'm 21, but I really don't care too much for computers outside of work/school (well and these forums-but that's car related). (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) It's hard to imagine where some of us would be with our driving/cars w/o these forums. They definately accelerate the development of these cars. Imagine if GMHTP or HP TV was all we relied upon. Or if all of us could only read suspension dynamics books and not have others to help explain the concepts.
