I am living in fear That's right. Every moment I am working on my PC I am living in fear.

FEAR that my computer will freeze as I am in the middle of that important presentation. FEAR that my word processor will fail as I am putting the finishing touches on that document I spent 6 hours preparing - and shredding the last saved files in the process. FEAR that my browser will crash just as I found that one website with the vital information I needed - the one that took me a boatload of time to find. FEAR that my email program will crash repeatedly in the same day, killing the train of thought I was riding.

This really sucks. Seriously, I've had to reboot my PC once already, my MS Outlook has crashed a record three times this afternoon., and the day is not even half over yet.

The more this happens, the more I long for a internet connection stable enough and prevalent to only have to use web applications. We have the technology. Why are we not there yet?

Ok, Outlook has restarted... so back to work.... for a little while at least.

[update] Odd little thing, it seems that now my spell check in Outlook is not working. For those of you who may be pointing at MS Word as the culprit, don't even think about it - I disabled it as my default email editor a long time ago, due to how unstable it was.  ¶ 6/20/2006 01:37:00 PM
