I hate computers. Windows shit the bed on the desktop last night, and this laptop sounds like a goat being eviscerated with a chainsaw. That ain't right.

You're the only person besides Mani I've heard use that expression, that something malfunctioning has "shit the bed".

The problem, of course, is that you can't just slap a piece of duck tape on it and move on. Can you purge your system and reload Windows, or is it worse than that?

Haha! I'm not even sure where I picked that up. I used it with Dad the other day, and he didn't know what the heck I was talking about!

Ugh, I don't know. Now I'm thinking the hard drive Windows is installed on might be going. The whole thing's flipped out like a pack of hemmorhoids.

I think you picked it up at Yale. I never heard it until I moved up Nawth.

I love that second definition on the Urban Dictionary, though, I had not put two and two together and equated shitting the bed with actual death, though as a nurse I probably should have ;-D

Hope it's not your hard drive but just Windows being wonky, as it is wont to do. I'd try reformatting and reloading, and skipping the updates.

That definitely ain't right.

I think shitting the bed is one of the added features of Windows SP 2.

No kidding! I was installing some Windows updates when the whole thing fricked, and I really doubt that's just a coincidence.

I never update.
