A Bit of Humor Called Tech Support |

DEAR TECH SUPPORT
-- Desperate
I recommend you get technologically proficient with what you have, learn every default capability you can and keep clicking buttons until one works.. You're your system crashes, wait. Sometimes you may have to turn off the machine and give it a rest. Miraculously, for unknown reasons, glitches may disappear. Another tool to use with your new upgrade, is patience. I understand this is not what you bargained for, but it helps. There are times the system will right itself if you simply wait long enough. And, trust me, you will never know why.
If nothing else works, try talking to your machine. I know the system you selected does not include that in the instruction manual, but it is a trick, I have learned over the years. And foolish as it may seem, perhaps when no one is looking, caress your machine and give it a kiss.
Your system is only as good as the user and when upgrading, there can be no such thing as foolish pride. So if at first you don't succeed, try and try again. If all else fails and your system continues to deteriorate, please call in a certified technician before it is too late.
