Who's reading CreativeWoman (614):
Sometimes I can be typing away on my laptop and through some unknown razzle dazzle of keystrokes my screen takes me to far away places.  It can be quite an interesting experience.  I think my laptop has a deal with my husband just to irritate me while he's gone.

I suspect it has some evil conspiracy to get me to trim my fingernails.  They are getting too lovely for my own good.

Of course, I'm just kidding. 

I do think this laptop could be possessed though.  It has a mind of its own.  It certainly couldn't be operator error.  (Yeah, right.  Who am I kidding?) 

I suppose I could talk to it a little more nicely and it might be a little more supportive of my efforts.  Maybe it's just getting bored with going to the same old sites all the time.  It wants to explore more and it wants to take me with it.  :-)  I couldn't recreate some of the keystrokes that bounce me around if I tried.

So now that I have rambled about something completely silly, I have a question for you.

Is your laptop possessed?  Care to share your stories real or imagined?

    I use desktops so that I don't get pissed and throw them over the balcony.  Much harder to drag the big tower out to the balcony :)

    UI,
    You make me laugh.  I think I would still consider it.  I threatened by old desktop with a good crushing under the tractor more than once.  :-)

    My old laptop used to do that to me.  It regularly sent me zooming around the Internet, and I have no idea what key or combination of keys would send me flying.  It used to drive me absolutely nuts -- I used to swear at it all the time.
     
    This one doesn't do that.  Yet.  LOL

    Mimi,
    I think the keys are a little closer together on this laptop than what I have been used to.  It makes things interesting.

    I'm glad you have a well behaved laptop.  :-)

    Maybe we need to have an exorcism for all these possessed computers.  :-)  I knew mine couldn't be the only one.

    CW,

    HAHAHAHA,  yeah, there are times when I think my laptop needs a exorcist.  Sometimes I don't even have to touch the thing.  I'll hear "Click," and pow there I am someplace i didn't want to be.  Scary huh? :)  Peace and Long Life CW

    Love Worf

    Worf,
    It is a little scary.  :-D   Mine will sign off and on the internet sometimes for no apparent reason.  Maybe it wants all of my attention instead of most of it.  :-)

    My advice is to sprinkle it with some holy water and hope for the best.  :-)

    Well I wonder what is worse a possessed laptop or a car. My daughter's in law car seemed to be that.  Or one could think so. In the end it crashed so badly that it was completely ruined. She did not have it then. Nice that your laptop takes you places. ((((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))
  • diabolicdame said on Apr 30, 2008....
    I believe my laptop is possessed too! It does some strange things.. mostly it hangs a lot when it shouldn't and sometimes it decides for no good reason to not play a DVD more than once!! It has already crashed once and its actualy better now after the 'crashing'.. My dad fixed it and he did a good job I think..
  • quietone said on Apr 30, 2008....
    oh, whew, I am glad to hear all of this.. I thought it was just my laptop!!  Yes, I can go to places and even right here... flip from top to bottom of page in the middle of typing.. for no particular reason...its a conspiricay -that is what it is!! LOL
  • CreativeWoman said on Apr 30, 2008....
    skald,
    I'm thinking the car would be a little worse than the laptop. Did you ever see or read the book Christine by Stephen King?  It was about a very nasty possessed car.

    diabolic,
    It must like your DVD selections.  :-)  Your dad sounds handy to have around.

    quietone,
    Yeah, I get bounced around SC quite a bit too...especially if I'm trying to edit something.  I kind feel like I'm being tossed around like a rubber ball sometimes.  :-)  Bouncy.  Bouncy.

  • skald said on Apr 30, 2008....
    No I did not but I am sure it is exciting since it is by Stephen King. Maybe I should look it up. 
  • CreativeWoman said on Apr 30, 2008....
    skald,
    The movie was good, but the book was great.  :-)

  • quietone said on Apr 30, 2008....
    I remember seeing "Christine"  the new and old version of it. .. yup it was typical way out there Stephen King!  ... like the laptop thing.. maybe it is that other movie.. with the space ship under the ground.. oh, I cant remember the name of that one.. but it messed up his typewriter (the guy in the story) not Stephen King.  LOL....
  • CreativeWoman said on Apr 30, 2008....
    quietone,
    I've just seen the older one.  I like Stephen King's writing style even if it is a little creepy.  He really is great with character development as far as I am concerned....even if one of them is a possessed car.  :-)

    I haven't seen the other one you're talking about.  Let me know if you remember the name of it.

  • quietone said on May 01, 2008....
     "Tommyknockers"?  It was pretty decent and out there as typical Stephen King.  But the writers typewriter would take off typing by itself etc.. kinda like here...well almost.. if my laptop starts typing by itself....... I am outta here!  LOL
  • CreativeWoman said on May 02, 2008....
    quietone,
    I think I would would be out of here too if my computer started posting here on its own.  lol

    I'll have to check that one out.

    I think you'd like it if you like Stephen king.
