brainwash... when there aint no other way

so joe (remember him?) has been acting a little off lately - slow and unresponsive. i knew it had to be spyware, probably from that sketchy site my professor had us getting stuff from a while back. i ignored it, though, because i just couldnt be bothered to do anything at the moment since so much other stuff had been going on. bad idea. he got sick. really sick. with a virus or two or a hundred and twelve. and the stupid spyware turned him into a zombie computer that just started to shut down everytime i did something that seemed threatening to them. the doctor (microcenter dude) couldnt help him. the only thing i could do was brainwash him. completely erase his memory. and so i did. and now he has nothing on him. i even had to remind him of his and my names. and i really really dont feel like reinstalling all the crap that got deleted. itunes, office, adobe, web browsers (i have an extremely old ie right now. i dont have tabs :/), and a whole bunch of other stuff that i cant remember but probably should. all my files (okay, not all. i did save some of them on my external hard drive).

of course, ill have to stick with open office instead of microsoft (i usually have both). and the adobe suite was a colossal waste of 300 dollars cause i cant get that back. and i had a project i was working on that couldnt be backed up which was really annoying. but at least i got most of my music and all of my pictures, right?

oh, and joe is fine now. coming back from the dead agrees with him.
