Wow. I thought nothing could ever possibly be worse than AOL. Boy, was I ever wrong. Strong language ahead, if that sort of thing offends you, get a life.
So, tonight my mother randomly decided that we -had- to switch over to MSN, immediately. So we try to set it up. Errors. Tech support. Hour or so and more obscure settings and commands than you can shake a stick at later. We finally get it to actully connect. Well, it still gives us errors. Norton pops up it's first ever window for catching a Virus in the month or so the computer's been up and running. "What the fuck is this shit?", I think to myself. More attempts. Norton catches another. More attempts. Well, Norton didn't catch it this time. 1-minute timer, computer shuts down. I swear at MSN under my breath. Mom has been yelling at me all night because it's somehow my fault that MSN doesn't work.
So. We can't get MSN working. Since we've started to try to get it working, the antivirus software has caught virii three times, and failed to catch it at least once. It seems silly to blame trying to use MSN for this, but consider: I've been stuck using AOL for many years now, at least six or seven. In that time, I have -never- gotten -any- sort of virus/worm/etc on -any- of the computers I've used it on, even the one that now today has become infected. Ever. This includes a computer whose virus definitions were not updated for three years, and which had the protection software disabled for the third of those years. That... Kind of makes me suspicious, y'know? O_o;
So, now our poor computer Calus has that fricking Blaster thing or one of it's cousins(Didn't I just update those fricking virus definitions the other day? Yes, Virginia, yes I did. -_-), we can't get online with him, and I am highly fucking pissed off and -not- at all impressed with MSN(Oh. Yeah. When we were actually able to get it to connect? The speeds were actually -slower- than AOL's shitty speeds).
I FUCKING HATE MSN EVEN MORE THAN I HATE FUCKING AOL THAT IS THE SADDEST FUCKING SHIT EVER GRARRGHH RAGE STAB MAIM DESTROY.
At least Vol Opt still 'works', even if it is a 266 Pentium with 96 megs of RAM trying to run WinME. X_x;
