Ten Hesitations I Have About my New Computer.

1. This Windows 7 Starter thingy (tech-term) doesn't allow me to change the wallpaper at the back of everything. I like to have my puppy watching me log off. That's a little odd. And a conspiracy because you have to pay money to upgrade to put on a wallpaper—bloody humongous corporations and their corporate greed.
2. There are no separate buttons for the touchpad so when you move the mouse over to the desired spot and click on the little rectangle on the finger thingy, the mouse leaps fourteen feet over to click on something else.
3.Which brings me to the screen. You can't actually leap fourteen feet on it. I have to go to another computer across the room to get the arrow back. The screen is meant to be small seeing as it is a handy, light and teeny-weeny netbook, but there is a lot of border that could possibly have been utilised for screen.
4. This is probably a Windows 7 thingy too: instead of the programs that are open lining up along the bottom for easy finding, they hide behind their icon and have to be searched for—which necessitates using the finger thingy, placing the arrow on the desired program, touching the rectangle, sending the arrow fourteen feet across the room and making me get up and bring it back.
5. I swear they swapped the 'Enter' and the 'Shift' keys around. I spend a lot of time waiting for things that don't happen when the shift key is pressed.
6. The green cover is so lovely and mesmerising that sometimes I just stare at it for ages and forget to do stuff. It's jewel-like. I feel like I have one of those green jewel Ford utes.
7. My email on this computer comes up with little check boxes (doesn't on my other computer which is just weird). They are fabulous because you can delete things in groups rather than one at a time, but, when you move things in groups, it turns out they just disappear into some other-world, never to be found again.
8. If you let the mouse hover for a second on any given option, it opens it. This is unless that is actually what you want it to do, in which case you need to double click it forty-eight times and you don't want me to go into that again do you—you know, the thing about the finger thingy ...
9. I pressed something, somewhere, probably actually let the mouse hover over it for a milli-second, and so now this 'Messenger' box opens every time I start the computer. I have to minimise it and then do the mouse thing to get rid of the offline option. I do that every time because I don't like it loitering, and I will never use it, ever. And I cannot find any way to make it go away. It annoys me in a large way.
10. On the desktop are a group of apple-esque icons—they even do the apple get-big thing when the mouse goes over them. But they don't seem to connect you to anything. Why are they there? Just to win a few apple-converts? I don't understand.

p.s: Don't get me wrong. I love my little computer. It's light, tiny, portable, cute as a button, nice to use and just sweet. But even Shirley Temple was sometimes annoying: 'On the goo-oo--o-d ship, Lollipop ...
