Yep! That’s pretty much what my thoughts say in the middle of a teacher conference when the program is due to start, but the laptop screen says – still loading. The presenter looks at me, everyone in the room then looks at me, I look at them, smile politely with a blush on my face, then look at the laptop again, and the circle indicating still loading is present on the screen ↺.

The same thing happens at camps and even at evangelistic meetings. Not to mention when I have to edit an audio or photo file (what on a normal laptop takes 10 seconds to access, on mine can take a minute). And I haven’t been able to edit any videoes on it for months now. It refuses to do anything else. I’ve formatted it, reinstalled it, but the fact that it is 9 years old is taking it’s toll.
