Small annoyances

[wiseheart]

So, my iPad mini decided today that it doesn't want to access the Internet. Just like that. Ten minutes earlier it was all right, I could check some canon facts with for my story, but when I wanted to check something next, the thing refused to cooperate.

At first I thought it was a server problem. So I switched on the desktop PC, and the Internet worked like a charm. Then I thought perhaps it was something with the rooter, so I restarted it, but the iPad still refused to connect to the internet. So I admitted being beaten by it and took it to my neighbour, the IT guy, in the hope he'll find the time to do something about it. He's managed to do the same once, a couple of years ago, so I'm still hoping. The problem is, he's very busy, therefore it's unknown when he'll get to my rebellious piece of technology.

Yes, I know one can live with a desktop PC only. I've done so for quite some time. But one gets used to the quick and comfortable ways a tablet offers when taking photos, checking facts and e-mails and stuff. I guess I'm terribly spoiled. *sigh*

I hear you. I have a desktop computer but I love sitting in my comfy recliner, with my laptop. It's much more convenient.

My laptop is practically a relic by now. It can only work - very slowly and reluctantly - if it's plugged in, but I do like it nonetheless.
