simple frustrations with technology

i am burning cds for a friend
so far two are done
now the cd burner is being bitchy
not just bitchy
but joan collins in dynasty sort of makes me want to just throw up my hands and walk away sort of bitchy
computer restarted
machine restarted
(#&(&%&$^ external burner)
it now *seems* that things are ok
this is a problem that has been getting worse in recent months
NOT HAPPY
FRUSTRATING
and i am out of coffee

(this is the part where i flail on the floor and have the four year tantrum.)

carry on
