My Computer Hates Me
So, the good people over at C.H.U.D. have finally gotten their hands on a teaser trailer to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, something that I am very, very, very excited about. I try to spend half the morning downloading it, and guess what? My computer spontaneously decides to crap out at some random point during each download. Sometimes it's at 136KB, other times it's at 3.26MB. Either way, the amount downloaded stops moving for quite some time, I bang my head against the desk, and then finally quit.
I return this afternoon, only to download the trailer without flaw. But. Turns out that it is a very specific type of file that can only be viewed with the help of these doohickeys. And guess what happens when I try the free download?
Yep. I'm going to be off crying in a corner before another futile attempt. In the mean time, see if you have better luck than I do.
