Computers

Hmmm Computers.  They can be the best thing since sliced bread or an incredible source of frustration.  Or both.  Within15 minutes.  That’s the way this one is.
I have a new computer.  It is supposed to be real fast.  I say supposed as newness necessitates loading what I had on my old computer on to this one.  That is time consuming.  And of course Windows is going through changes so I need to do things I have never needed to before.
Add to that our NBN has chosen this time to be incredibly dicy.  At first people were visiting.  Then they emailed to say they were not and asked I contact them.  But the contact method was so hard to do and finding how to contact them was like pursuing hidden treasure.  Then they said they fixed it from afar.  Then I managed to contact them and they said they would monitor it.  All done and all good apparently.  Except my computer still says I am not connected to the internet when I am.  If these things are sent to try us then they have a win.
But at other times they can be so great.  I was talking to my doctor (he seems really unusual in that he wants a chat) and he was saying how good AI is for him.  He has a special noiseless computer that is only available in GB and costs a fortune (he is from GB).  It broke down and he was told he would need a new one.  That had its own challenges as the computer only came from GB)
So he described the problem and asked AI what to do.  He got incredibly detailed instructions.  After two days and working on the mother board and coding he had a fix.  AI also gave him where he could get the parts he needed.
I found it really interesting how he talked about AI.  It is a known point that AI comes from its own agenda.  Knowing that, he has gotten as many AI programs as he can and found the best one that suites him. 
It showed me that for those who are willing to explore what is being said AI is a friend.  For those who will embrace anything they are told AI will potentially work against them.  For some that will be considered ok while for others it will be a frustration.
There is a whole world in computers though at this point I just want one that works as it should.
