What Color Is Your Car, Sir?

What a night.

After a long, grueling day at work, I finally signed out and booked out of here as fast as I could. There was only one problem though.

No More Upgrading! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

After years of computer use, you’d think I would have learned by now that it’s not always wise to upgrade to the latest and greatest software the minute it comes out. It’s just bad hoodoo, dude.
