Would very much like to smash something about now...

Lilac was still having issues. My housemate suggested that this might be because the newest updated version of all my applications is designed for SNOW LEOPARD, which I hadn't installed.

So I installed it.

...or tried to.


Instead, it refused to install, and erased my hard drive.


AAAAAARGH!!!!!


Thankfully, I still have all my files saved from the last four installations I have done. On the other hand, "all my files" only includes the stuff I saved on May 15th*. And I now need to reinstall them all. Again. And set up my internet. Again. And set up all my settings. Again.

* as opposed to... for example... my uni assignments.


AND MY COMPUTER IS STILL STUFFING UP.

Oh man, computer issues are the worst. We never fully realize how much we need them until we can't use them again. Last weekend I spent about four hours on the phone with someone, walking them through fixing a corrupted registry. It was nuts.
