I get a new laptop probably every 1 to 1.5 years. Usually my loving company gives me some WW II reject laptop. You open it up and it has Hitler’s Power Point on taking over Poland saved on it.
Anyway last time around company gave me a brand new IBM Thinkpad. It was like Christmas in July. I was in a great mood…they even threw in a lap top bag. Problem… these lap top bags can only store the laptop, and maybe two sheets of paper and a pen. So this f#cking bag is pretty much useless for trips.
In any case, I can deal with the laptop bag, but what I can’t deal with is IBM’s finger swipe. THIS THING SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now before I get sued by IBM, this is just my opinion….now with that said let me repeat…. IT SUCKSSSSSS!!!!!!Â
How many f#ckin times must I need to swipe my fat finger over the swipe. You keep seeing that BALL BUSTING arrow directing what you did wrong. “Oh a little to the left…no,no, go back to the right…..no,no…. a little further”. I am going to kill the ARROWS, the ARROWS Families…hell I’m even killing people that owe these ARROWS money.
It’s always when your computer goes into hibernate and you are in a rush to get in that this stupid swipe doesn’t work. What’s worse is when you first get the computer you’re showing the world the swipe… and then you have to do it 10 times OR the ultimate insult…you have hit CTRL – ALT – DEL to sign in. If I have to do that then why do I need you MR. FINGERSWIPE?
I’m getting heated here. Mr. FingerSWIPE is a picky, little bitch. God forbid your laptop is on your lap ( WHICH IT COULD BE AS IT IS CALLED A LAPTOP), the thing is not balanced and you will never get in with your finger. But, even on a fully balanced table the thing gives you trouble. Hear me now IBM THINKPAD, as I write on you….next time I swipe my finger and you don’t comply… I’m swiping MY NUTS! See if they register.Â
