 Quest For The Packard Bell

Chapter III

Revenge of The Brits

   For a brief while, I did have a working and running Packard Bell EasyNote A8, a British specimen of a laptop, which would've probably compared itself to something that Acer made at around the time in the 2000s on this side of the pond. Now, why am I mentioning this particular computer? Well, even though it is a "Rebadged Acer" It too has the Packard Bell name, and it also is a part of this story. 

 

   So, what made me think getting a Rebadged Acer would be such a good idea to begin with? Well, for starters, I was bored with the idea of commonly available Aspires that were sold by electronics stores on this side of the pond. And, of course, in time I would be getting a more modern Acer, even if it would be the trim "Nitro" even though this series of blog posts makes me seem less like someone writing a 

thing out of a general interest, and more like someone that is just wanting to be ridiculed by an Adonis man for keeping my dick small and muscles somewhat weak, eating a mostly Jeffrey diet and if and when I do get my own car, instead of buying some fancy Acura or Lexus, deciding to go with the cheaper, but mechanically identical Honda or Toyota, considering most millionaires who are suggesting they are secure until they die prefer German Luxury cars, such as Volkswagens, Mercedes-Benzes, Audis which are the exact fucking same as Volkswagens, except some Audis can leave certain VW models in the dust, Porsches, BMWs, and probably some other German luxury cars which I don't exactly know about. 

 

   And second, I was feeling particularly adventurous, but I wasn't exactly going to be asking my parents for a plane ticket to Europe any time soon - considering that my life in the constantly destabilizing country may be becoming ever more so unlivable living in "real" society, and probably like walking on a tightrope so to speak, the only things balancing me are the fact I could have hobbies that would keep my mind occupied off of trying to satisfy the carnal needs I would've gone and gotten satisfied in my 20s, because apparently Watchtower ministers aren't supposed to get laid and married as young as possible despite having some pent-up sexual urges, if they have those urges and desire matrimonial desires in time. On top of that, the only thing European in my life I'm going to allow is chocolate from a Swiss company, and furniture from a Swedish one.

  (Oh, it was just recently that I learned that the building block toys that I spent my childhood/youth playing with were Danish, and of course I obviously knew that despite its being owned by the Microsoft corporation now, Minecraft, like IKEA, is also Swedish. I'm considering building my own IKEA tower when I get back into playing Minecraft somewhat more seriously when I feel I have the time to devote to it & I have no projects that will be taking up my time/attention.) 

 

   But I've digressed long enough from the topic of today's post. I feel that my Easy Note A8 when it worked actually did whatever I could throw at it just fine. I mean, at the time, I wanted a Windows XP laptop that I could just carry around. Some may argue there's not much of a point in doing that, but I personally don't agree with those people that want to have that much negativity in my life. Now, before you ask me the intellectually challenged question of, "NaThAn, DiD tHaT pAcKaRd BeLl RuN wInDoWzE 10?" I will have to tell you, "No, It doesn't run Windows 10. But, to be completely honest, not everything has to run Windows 10 anyway. And, of course, notwithstanding any possible global cataclysm apocalypse scenario within the near-ish future of 7-8 years or potentially less, I don't think anybody should be running Windows 10 ever again, considering that Windows 10 as it ages as a platform will eventually gradually become even more of a security hole, and everyone except my absolutely sworn foes that still use computers based on the x86_64, or ARM platforms anyway, that don't want to use the Apple fashion accessories Cupertino vomits out of Cupertino, which if this is true about you, then I at least do have some respect for you, and I would never consider laughing at you or ridiculing you. I mean, I've pretty much felt convinced that despite my initial suspicions of Microsoft re-inventing the wheel that Windows 11 is going to be my one last version of Windows that I plan to use. And if anyone asks - What happened to my want to use Linux devices by midnight on December 31, 2029? I'll just tell them, I've experienced a small setback for now. I'll be sure to continue this when I feel more like it will be more in line with my eventual goals." 

 

   The Packard Bell EasyNote A8 was just a mere stepping stone to a much larger puzzle, but one that was a more interesting piece than anything else.
