Electronic woes.....

Long story short. My brother and our step-cousins infected my main PC with a worm. I tried removing it but went a little gung ho and accidentally removed a critical file. The computer wouldn't start up after that. After installing windows on a different partition I was able to save all the data from my account and my brothers. After a few successful reformats to install windows on the proper partition I was informed I could not install SP2 for XP because I did not have a legit code for the copy of windows I had. So I finally gave in and went and bought a legit copy of XP Home. After hours of installations of drivers/programs and restoring everything to almost near normal conditions before the virus I noticed there were quite a few bugs in it. First bug was that before the start up screen it would ask me what copy of windows xp I would like to use (even though there was just 1 OS on my comp). I fixed that by editing the boot.ini file in the C:/ and reformatted all my other partitions to make sure that there was no "second" windows on there. After that I installed my external soundcard and then finally iTunes to listen to some tunes. It was all going okay until I plugged in my iPod. I had 20gigs of music on that thing. But when I plugged it in, something happened. I don't know what, but when I clicked on "Alex's iPod" I noticed I had nothing on it. Absolutely nothing. It registered nearly 40gigs of free/unused space. Now that's a feeling of devastation. Why? Well about 15gigs of my 20 gigs on there was from music I imported from my CD collection. I wasn't able to salvage my entire iTunes music collection from my computer before I reformatted so that basically means I have to re-import all my music back on............MOTHER F&!@#$#^%%^*^*(&$!!!!!!

That's it I've had it with electronics for quite some time now. That PC can rot in whatever level of hell, along with all the loser programmers who code viruses. I really hope that there is a special place in hell for these programmers. Heck if there isn't maybe I'll draw up a petition for there to be one. Ugh.

That's it for now, I'm mad and tired and I don't think I can refrain from writing more profanity if I continue.

Alex.
