Here come the dick jokes

I’m hurt.
I’ve been trying very hard not to just slag off the BBC lately, and a friend pointed out this evening that he kind of missed it. Well, if you think I’m going to say something sarcastic about under-bonnet forecourt-proximity-detecting depreciation devices you’ll be sorely disappointed.
Instead, a mini rant about Microsoft. Regular readers will know that my IT mojo isn’t what it once was, but still I insist on licking the 9-volt technology battery.
Fool that I am, I recently installed Windows Vista. It killed my computer.
Imbecile that I remain, I tried again with more success. Today, Vista Service Pack 1 beckons. I know I shouldn’t, I know, but I’m downloading it as I write. While I still can, perhaps.
I can’t plead ignorance, in fact, the internet gods have already fired a warning shot – I couldn’t get the download to work in IE7 and have resorted to Firefox.
If SP1′s non-appearance in Windows Update and its reluctance to download in Microsoft’s own browser doesn’t make me wave off, I deserve everything I’ve got coming.
‘resorted to Firefox’?
that be fighting talk
Think yourself lucky I didn’t have to use a Mac to do it.
Incidentally, the title of this post is a reference to something Bill Hicks said. There are, in fact, no dick jokes coming.
