This is the last part...
2003-2004
I was posted to SMK Membakut II as the pioneering group of teachers.
At this moment, my PC can't no longer withstand the amount of pressure and
abuse of mine, hehehe... So, it went
dead a few days after I installed/fitted USB cable/socket (at that time USB cable/socket was rather new to common users). So, it was time for me (again) to scarce parts to build another PC. Only this time, I managed to save some money to buy a very good processor, specifically for MM-AV tasks.
2004-2006
Completed my own built-up PC. The specifiation included: An awesome 2,4GHz processor with 2.0GHz RAM. It was the most mindblowing PC - playing NFS was flawless and totally VR! Mind you, such specification comes standard on PC and laptop only about two or three years ago. And I did that about a decade ago!...
Having said that, you may now understand my
madness... I really hate it when I'm
faster than the PC or laptop I'm using. Remember when I said "abuse"? Well, that's what happened when I really pushed my PC to its max, it generated heat that could melt the processor to its core... (I never overclocked, okay)
I've got married in 2004, and I also got appointed to the District Education Office as Information Officer in which my responsibilities are data and information and ICT. I really love that post even with 8 to 5 working hours... With two major changes to my life, I decided it was time for me to slow myself down from the computer madness, and so I put my PC away...
2006-2010
Computers are meant to be obsolete within 4 to 5 years. Mine around 3 years. But, if the life of the computer expanded up 'til 10 years, that's a trash. Why is it that the PC's in offices permitted to have life expansions? Again, the computer madness
hit me. I just can't stand working with a PC that can't do tasks I wanted it to do!
I needed a
fast PC that is able to coop with my
abuse... Remember that I hated
slow PC's...
Fortunately, just as I was trying to ugrade the PC, KPM granted us, the Information Officers of all districts a brand-spanking-new laptop, DELL Latitude. I don't remember of which series, but I do remember it has 10" (diagonally) monitor. As for its specifications, if I'm not mistaken; 1.5 GHz processor mated to 1.5 GHz DRAM, which I instantly upgraded to 2.0 GHz for my own convenience.
Such a relief, I literally have forgotten the whole idea of upgrading my office PC.
But, things are not meant to be merry forever, sigh... I had to give up such convenience when I was re-posted (again), returning to my base school, SMK Membakut II in late 2010.
2010 - 2012
I'm not kidding, but really... I successfully endured a
non-PC life for more than 2 years. During that period, I patiently used the school's PC, computer lab's PC and even the library's PC. Apparently, I lived my life
unconnected, aaaargghh!...
2013 until now...
I decided, it's time to get a new PC. Only this time, my budget allowed me to buy a complete unit of used PC but with an awesome specifications; 2.2 GHz processor paired with 2.4 GHz DDRAM. I upgraded its graphic card though. Overall, I love it, even though it's
second-hand PC. But, who cares, as long it works, right?
And by the end of the year, I bought myself a decent mini laptop, the Acer Aspire ONE. Not much to brag about its specifications, but I did upgraded its RAM. I left all the other stuff standard as it should because it's meant for school works, not gaming or hacking.
That's the best I can shorten such long history.
Though I may be considered as a
computer nerd or
gadget freak, I'm not fond of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp or anything like that. I preferred the conventional voice phone, SMS and email. To me, those social media can control your life without you even noticing...
That, my fellow reader, is another issue which I may elaborate in other post. Maybe...
See ya!
