does anybody else hate their work computer?

I swear it's the slowest POS ever. I have to restart 3x some mornings for it to start up right. There are usually 3 year leases on the PCs, so I'm due for an upgrade in about a month, but I feel like I was due for an upgrade long ago!

Re: does anybody else hate their work computer?

  • yes! it's slow and it can't keep up with me :o(

  • Me! My company installs so many security upgrades and patches and crap that it's pure torture. Plus my hard drive is a whopping 40GB. I have like 2 GB of free space after my software and security packages are installed. Sad
  • Yes.  A lot.

    Not to mention, we use effing Lotus Notes.

    WTF?!

    OMG, Lotus Notes. I had to use that POS for two years at my last job and I thought that I was going to kill something every time I had to start it up.

    My work computer is pretty good actually. I work at a university so they get good deals.

  • i hate it.  two words:  windows vista.

     My work uses Lotus Notes too... it's awful

  • Yes, as a matter of fact, today I got the "red box of doom" at work which is apparently closely followed by the blue screen of death.  Hopefully it is a quick death.  I hate the thing!
  • Yes, it is incredibly slow.  I complained to IT because it was locking up and begged for more RAM (I only have 512MB) and the IT guy came and "upgraded" a couple things and said he "cleaned it up".  I notice a tiny difference but it's still pretty sucky.  And he did not give me more RAM.  That would cost like $10.  Boo.
