Step 1: Take your computer.
Step 2: Throw it out the window.
Step 3: Buy a pad and pen. It's easier.
I bought my first computer in 1999, an 850 something for $850. At that time I had not heard of Dell, and, who knows how many computer, laptops, laptop/notebook hybrids, notebooks, smart phones it has been since.
Things were moving so fast yesterday, and I had gotten so tired, that I really absolutely failed to understand why you so summarily tossed me out of your life for only the second time ! ? I'll have you know that as an existentialist I take full responsibility for everything that happens to me because it happens through me; except when I just plain like being a little girl sissy. I use pen and paper constantly. However as to mixing with computers you just now make me realize that Khemikal is probably a cyborg. P.S., I spent lots of time replying to Abadon_ire, only to see it go puff puff the magic dragon poof into nothingness, lost. So, here I am stuck with Ire thinking I think I am too good to respond, only too computer maladapted.

I've already given my reasons; because it's pointless continuing, for all concerned, you included. As blunt as it is, this thread and you being here is a waste of everybody's time, including yours since you're never gonna get it... everything goes right over your head. Say someone did have the patience to provide you with a lengthy procedure to do every little thing, do you think you would ever understand what you were doing enough to be able to generalise and extrapolate your own solutions to problems etc... ie to take the initiative of what do next based on what you've learned so far? For instance actually looking up rules or procedures, rather than having everything spoon-fed to you? I strongly doubt it, and that being the case means all I can see is you learning by rote a bunch of procedures going forward but with no idea what you're actually doing, so that every time you come up with a problem, you'll need another text wall of explanation solve it, which no-one has the patience for, to do ad infinitum.
And now, for the same reason as the above; because of your clear inability to understand context and nuance, you're hung up on a too literal understanding of the rules; arguing what they mean with the people who actually wrote them! All in the name of maintaining your paranoid conspiracy theory of victimization by the staff, and in spite of the olive branches and other ways out of your situation being offered by members and staff. I'm not blaming you for the way your mind works, but at the same time, I realise the pointlessness of this situation going forward, since I can just imagine six months down the line, still explaining every little thing and still pedantically arguing about the rules. So yeah, I'm washing my hands of it, and suggest you do as well, for your own sake. This site just isn't for you.
