Capt. Insane

Why I sometimes wish my comp would die...

Yes, this is something that most people would never wish, and right now if it happened I'd cry. However, I do sometimes wish it would happen. Why? I'll tell you.

For starters, I love building computers. It's a ton of fun. Sure, it sucks having to install software from scratch, but I enjoy the rest. But I have nothing to build because my computer's in good shape and all together.

Secondly, I have fun helping people pick out parts to build their own computer, and it makes me want to build a new computer.

But, while I enjoy helping people with thier computers, it makes me want to buy stuff to make my own. Though, I'm currently unemployed so it'd be dumb for me to build another without having to.

So that's why I sometimes wish my computer would die. And that's also why I keep an external hdd with my stuff backed up on it.

You just described my life Capt. Insane (except the unemployed part - however that might also be nice because then maybe I would stop buying parts to build a computer to turn around and give it to someone).

It can and is addicting.  My kids each have computers that could be used as NASA back up servers (the youngest one just does not appreciate this... he is five now).  I have built myself a gamers dream computer; however, the only games I ever play are Destop Tower Defense and Solitaire.

I am a veterinarian by trade, but perhaps Capt. Insane and myself could open a 'let us build your dream computer' store.
