computer update

we're updating my computer, and i know it really needs it and it's overdue, but i hate it!! i hate xp. i hate the updated firefox and thunderbird. i hate the updated office. everything looks so weird and ugly. i can't find any of my stuff. every time i want to read an email i have to click like twelve things -- are you sure this isn't junk? if i want to download images i have to add sender to address book -- there's at least 3 more clicks. every time i send an email i have to click whether to send it plain text or html (how outdated is that?) it kept trying to put my new message at the bottom where no one could ever find it. everything used to be so easy; now nothing is easy. i used to love my computer. i loved spending time with my computer. i would spend hours playing on the email, surfing the web. it was like a ballet -- we were in total synch. now everything is icky and awkward. nothing looks right. nothing acts right. i don't have any of my bookmarks. i don't have my address book. i seem to have misplaced the past 4 years of emails. and i really need some of them. i want my old system back. i want my old life back.
