The Blog Takes Sides

I didn't inted for this blog, created to document my responses to my travels and maybe entertain myself or others, to take on a platform.  But I have no choice but to take up a cause:  to prevent anyone, family or stranger, friend or foe, from ever purchasing Asus products. 

I know what you're thinking:  any idiot can avoid buying crappy Asus stuff without a dumb blog telling them to.  But if you ever find yourself with Best Buy gift cards burning a hole in your pocket, looming travels to document and preserve, and the logic of "$100 net expenditure for a new computer!" screaming on your shoulder like Homer Simpson before a big decision, listen to the other shoulder.  Run away.  Set fire to the store.  Do anything other than buy the Asus. 

This hunk of junk (along with communism) is the main reason my blog was/is delayed.  The interface sucks - the mouse clicks random spots on the screen at random intervals, making uninterrupted typing impossible (the bootleg solution is to turn the smartpad settings to nearly-off, rendering the mouse nearly-useless).  The processor is too slow to upload videos onto blogger - or to watch a video on itunes.  Skype software is virtually impossible to run (straining my relationship as well, TYVM), thanks to the same shitty processor.  Just don't do it. 

Maybe my calling will be to start an Asus support group, so we can all go through the denial, guilt, anger, regret, and, eventually, hope of our actions together.  Let me know if you'd be interested - anonymously, of course.  I'm here to help.
