for that one moment in my pathetic life, i wish the library was back to its musty old self: creaking shelves, mouldy books, the random pervert hoping to score with girl geeks, and no air conditioning (thereby causing us to suffocate. how i managed to survive is a long story best served on my deathbed.).
is there really a use or reason to upgrade our libraries to their spanking new facade, complete with computerised filing systems and broadband internet connection?
i don't think so.
not when they still retain their musty old books, noisy kids, and fussy computers that shut down on you whenever they like to.
i was using my station when i decided to re-boot the whole machine in hope of a faster surfing speed. the restart button did not work, no surprises there.
so i was stuck with my a bit buggy computer for about a good half hour.
30 minutes later the restart button decides to kick into action, closing a very important page i was viewing, and a half written, unsaved email too.
what the hell.
despite, i reckon i'm incredibly lucky to have typed this far without any major mishaps.
on the other hand, however, i am rendered to half my normal typing pace as the keyboard is, guess what, s.l.o.w.
and on that same hand, the library has decided to kick my tagboard to the category of chat, thus it's unviewable. why i waste my money using slow internet (and slow everything else) at the library while i can have true broadband at home remains an incredible mystery.
