Oops

I worked here all last year and used a really old PC that didn't really work and screwed up a lot of the time. When I had nothing to do, I would go on myspace or aim. When I got to work yesterday, though, the old computer was gone and replaced by a new laptop. My boss told me that the other one had a lot of problems because of things being downloaded and that it had to be replaced. He gave me strict orders not to download anything. Today he tells me that I must have downloaded aim or something and that it really messed with the old compuer. Who would have known that a simple application could cause so much damage on an old computer!?!?

Well that explains why I won't be on aim during the day anymore. And Blake thought we'd all get online and talk to each other the second we got home. Look how wrong he was. I win.

my mom has given me the same crap for putting aim on her computer. . .personally, i don't think it's just aim . . . i think it has to do with the inferiority of pc's but ya know. . .

It probably wasn't AIM, AIM is a memory hog when running but it contains no malicious software. It (as Kacey said) was just a really old computer. And I guess since you are used to Mac downloading things is instinticly safe. Tell him to install spyware programs on your computer (Spybot?) and you won't have anymore problems with it crapping out on you (or him)

My suggestion for AIM during the day:

Get a Sidekick :D

I'd buy you a Sidekick if I didn't want to buy one myself... I know someone who sells them for $99 dollars though...
