Sometimes I really hate this computer!!!!!!

I was sitting here typing away on a rather lenghly post of my thoughts this morning when (as usual anymore) my computer decides it's done working. Pages "freeze" or "hangs up" I believe is the terminology techy people use. I hate it. Not only does it throw out anything I've said, but it ruins my train of thought or my desire to start all over. I know it isn't my ISP. I'm sure I have spyware or something that is the culprit. I have defragged and dumped "cookies" and files. This is just aggrivating!!! Perhaps it's a sign to get off my fat ass and do something more constructive than journal my thoughts.

To think I was in a good mood too...now I'm just pissed off. Perhaps later after I've contemplated setting a bomb to this computer, I'll change my mind and try to post again after I'm not so irritated!!!!! Could it be that I just need a new computer??? I bought it brand new in April of 2002....is that old in computer years????

Any bright techy people out there have any ideas for me before I use my son's aluminum baseball bat he left here on it??????
