in the computer world what you did on past count nothing if you are not always on new system program’s etc…i have seen your problems happening very often…seems to much…i have a friend with same problems with computers and often…after have used his computers i have seen that he is the problem…most of problems usually are from electricity if you don’t use a protection syste or from malware if you have not adequate protection…i know of people formatting his system for each single problem…on 14 years i have never formatted one..just sitting and studying the problem and find solution…only in a few hardware problem i just had to change one hd. Also i have seen some very unlucky people with computers…seems that all world pc problems happens to them..bytheway now i have 3 desktops and two notebooks + three external hd with backups so…also if one fails i think i can survive.

Yeah, Burkhard I remember those punch cards from people working in the computer lab in Reutlingen Germany at my college where I attended there in the early 70′s. One opps dropping them and that turned into a oh $hit 2 sec later.

But look out of the window – is there a clear day in sight?

Since my history with computers goes back to 1975 with an IBM 360 main frame ( and punch cards ) and 1977 on a PDP11 Minicomputer under RT11 and then RSX11 ( Multiuser!!!!) – there is a lot of truth in this. But – the total numbers of severe problems tend to diminish over time. I would estimate that the the ratio of problems over features goes down by a factor of 2 per year, unfortunatly the number of options increases by 95% in the same time, that is why it will take a few hundred years still until computers become usable.
