Mark Twain wisely said, "Familiarity Breeds Contempt- and children". The latter part is not of significance here, because we are talking about how the more you know something or someone, the more you start to find faults and dislike things about it or them.
This happened to me of late. The perfect bond we shared was shattered by what Mark Twain called familiarity!
Before you rush to conclusions about the identity of the entity with whom I got familiar with.....Let me Dash your hopes and tell you it is none other than my, my one and only, LAPTOP :D
It started on a fairy-tale note when I successfully usurped my father's second Laptop. I fell for the looks....slim, prim and cute! Our union was like running away and eloping :P
It went sweetly for few years with me discovering new aspects of my LG XNote everyday or so. We together mesmerized my friends and family, what with rotating the screen, remote controlling presentations and music, controlling a robotic car we built, etc. And then the curse hit! It was not responding to my requests and one by one the functions failed me. Then I ventured to open it and investigate its interiors. There were the many resistors and capacitors ( which a friend of mine uses as rings ), the serene ROM chips, the awesome processor, the compact hard drive and the cooling fan and ducts. I cleaned it, serviced it and replaced few things which didn't work and ultimately formated the OS all with the hope that we could once again embark upon an eventful journey together!
But alas, my XNote took offence it seems. It now refuses to connect to the internet when I most need it or the applications like Mozilla do not open. It will format my External Hard-Drive only to render it useless where it is not detected by the machine!
If you think that these are technical problems which a more accomplished and sensible person can solve, I am afraid you are highly mistaken and immature. These are all signs of contempt shown by my XNote towards me! Alas what did I do to deserve this! :(

Your laptop likes you so much that it is telling you that you deserve a better one now!!
Try Alienware!! Will suit you!!
I stopped reading your post as soon as I came across the word "LAPTOP" :P
@ Mental Havoc aka Kenshin: What did you want in place of Laptop so that it might have captured your attention for a longer period of time? :P
@Prasad: My Laptop actually hates me...After seeing Kareena parade in trains and buses with a Sony Viao...my XNote wants a similar ethereal owner i think, not some bespectacled Tees Maar Khan :)
Use your imagination, write another post, and I'll tell you if you got it right :P
see kenshin, if you are indicating a MacBook or something.... I cant afford it right now :P
Duh! I was thinking more on the lines of "girlfriend" or "sweetheart" ;)
hey..thankfully Mark Twain's concept doesnt apply to humans...
the more we get to know our friends and people who matter, the more we start appreciating their wonderful aspects and help improve their inadequacies..
