Wouldn't it be nice if your mind worked like a computer's hard drive? Imagine being able to remember anything and everything and only deleting the bad parts. Then having the ability to click a button and make sure that everything is running smoothly. If not? No problem...scan your brain and fix any abnormalities. Sheesh!I wonder what the downsides to having such a mind could be. Any? Take crashes for instance. Well, I do that all the time. Basically my mind melts when in contact with too much of anything good, e.g, a hot babe half my age is always a reason for brain farts and then a crash. Taking too much NyQuil...mind numbing.
Hell, so what if my brain melts? I could do a quick fix via a scan or a brain boot disc and...*wham* normal brain function again. Perhaps computers should have come before people. Then maybe this could have happened. The PCBrains vs. the MacBrains! All out war!
It doesn't work that way though. As most, but sadly not all, of us are aware. Today, for instance, I've already looked for my coffee cup twice even though it was in my hand six minutes ago. I put clothes in the washer but didn't turn on the washer. I called a friend and then forgot why.
No rewind, replays, reruns or instant recall of anything. If my brain were a hard drive I wouldn't be here now. I would be sitting in some museum of old, outdated, primitive computers with a picture of a 12 year old Bill Gates holding me in his hand.

Oh, boy, there are days I wish I could control, alt, delete. And I've been having problems with my hard drive for about 8 years now.
I'd love to have a brain like a computer--as long it wasn't running Windows Vista. That's the worst operating system ever, and I'd constantly be freezing up and having to reboot. Oh, wait, I have to do that anyway.
My first thought was Microsoft = crashes, so that made me chuckle. I see your point here though. I'd probably be right next to you in that museum but I'd be the female version.
Have a terrific day. :)
My "hard drive brain" is working just fine, Don... it's all the other crap that's causing the problems... all the "input" devices and "data" are shit! You know what they say... "garbage in = garbage out"... that's the story of my life, Don, garbage out...
I'm with dufus, CTRL.ALT.DELETE, it's my mantra.
nonamedufus: Problems with the hard drive huh? Call Smiling Bob. He may not have much drive, but he sure is hard.
MikeWJ at Too Many Mornings: I just switched my desktop from Vista 32X to Windows7. So far it's running like a champ!! My laptop is running Vista64X, but I'll probably make the jump to 7 also if it continues to please on the desktop.
Sandee: Imagine...you and me together in a museum. As long as your hubs ain't invited, I'll play.
Tattoo Jim: Yeah. I've got the same basic problem with the garbage in-garbage out thing. Too much of one and not enough of the other.
Me-Me King: Aah, if only it were that easy. That's my point.
Would have been cool, except just yesterday the hard drive on one of my computers conked out unexpectedly. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, man or machine.
"Warning: your brain is about to shut down." Crap, I got a virus!
hindleyite: I know. I suppose there are drawbacks to all things. Especially man made ones.
My brain is almost exactly like my computer hard drive.
Totally loaded with porn.
ah yeah, my brain needs rebooted big time. How about meaning to call one person but dialing a totally different number and being surprised when they answer. Do that one all the time. Now where are my keys?
