Love/hate ... again

I've written before about my love/hate relationship with technology:

It loves to piss me off and I hate it for that.

Last night Dad turned on his PC and it fizzled out and restarted itself of its own volition. Once restarted it did the same thing. I started a virus scan but halfway through it restarted. I could see this going nowhere.

I gave Dad the bad news: "It's fucked."
"Can you un-fuck it?"
"Well yes and no. I don't think I can fix it, but I can wipe it and start again."
"That sounds time consuming."
"It is time consuming."
"Right. Fuck."

Last night I started moving all the personal documents to my external hard-drive. I was about halfway through when the power went out.

So today I'm reformatting his PC.

Why does technology hate me so??
