As someone who works with computers all day every day, I can definitely tell you that they're actually incredibly dumb. The problems you're talking are probably not related to the computer so much as the programs on it though, and also clueless tech support people. Most of them don't know much, and if they can't answer your problem will usually handball it onto (or blame) someone else so it isn't their responsibility.<BR/><BR/>In regards to batteries - that's not entirely right - it really depends on the type of battery...some are fine if you only let them run totally flat once a month or so, and some do need to be run flat every time like Fliss said so that they don't develop a memory though. This is mainly older batteries though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29848083.post-1156243968448354602006-08-22T20:52:00.000+10:002006-08-22T20:52:00.000+10:00really I never knew that about the batteries, when...really I never knew that about the batteries, when I got the computer I looked for agaes trying to find that exact info out, but I couldn't, but i guess I don't have a choice anyway, I can't use the internet with out the power, stupid computerEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142485425935363773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29848083.post-1156242966174202122006-08-22T20:36:00.000+10:002006-08-22T20:36:00.000+10:00All I know is that the computer manufacturers only...All I know is that the computer manufacturers only make new computers a little bit better, because then you'll come back sooner to buy a new one. I'm pretty sure they have the capabilities to make a very fast decent computer with very few, if any problems. But they don't. They want your money. They don't care if the quality of the product is nowhere near their best.<BR/><BR/>Then there is the problem with laptop batteries. Laptops should only be plugged in when they are recharging. Once they are fully charged, you need to let the battery die before you recharge it. If you don't do the above, your batteries die a lot quicker than when you first got your laptop. Too late for me now.<BR/><BR/>Ahh, but Emma, would you prefer a world without computers?Flichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04212575493076956808noreply@blogger.com
