So I spent a month's salary...

...on this new laptop. Which I am trying to like as much as the old laptop.

But OMG HELP ME I DON'T! I FEEL SO GUILTY!!!!

(Also, Japanese style keyboards suck. Unless you're writing an entry for mixi.)

That will be all.

ZOMG Anger!

Of course, owning a Japanese computer means computing entirely in Japanese. At first, I had a positive outlook. いい勉強になるかも and all that. Now? No.

It won't let me run Aim Express. It won't let me run Aim Quickbuddy. It won't let me install Aim because it 'isn't a win32 application.'

I also cannot turn the popup blocker off, install Java, or install Quicktime. I imagine it will be the same for Winamp and Opera as well. (The thought of trying to run Azureus or Winmx makes me cringe.)

Worse yet, there are several gigs of mystery programs on the machine and I can't figure out how to get them off.

Urgh.

Kids, when in Rome, stick to computing on familiar platforms.

That will be all.
