Trying not to take it personally but I am on an extended bad luck streak with devices...
First it was moving my HTPC to Windows 7. I had problems with the file permissions and ultimately I got an HTPC that only works with one channel - PBS. I dont think this was a statement of taste by my television so it remains an unsolved tech problem.
Then the PC at my office died. Our tech support group worked on it for over 2 weeks before returning it to me partially fixed. (If it goes to sleep, it never recovers.)
I moved my email to Google. At least half of it. I used their "groups" feature and it is not working - instead it is bouncing email. Unresolved tech issue for this weekend.
On vacation, our Nikon D40 died. It has an autofocus lens which stopped focusing. Since there is no manual focus, it was useless. No photos.
Last night Claire picked up my iPhone while I was talking with someone. 5 minutes later my iPhone is dead. It wont power on or hold a charge or sync with my iMac. Dead.
On the list of things one did not spend time on 25 years ago? All these computer and device problems.
