Google Chrome

Google Chrome - oh how interesting you sounded at first hearing, how attracted I was to the lure of your promises; your elegance, the way you would deftly deliver web pages to my screen. I was smitten and acted on impulse without thought and threw my cares to the wind.

So imagine my bleeding surprise when I downloaded you and installed you on my XP box and Blue Screen after Blue Screen. System Restore after System Restore.

Playing hard to get I thought, so I pursued you and found myself still intoxicated by your promises, still desiring your presence here on my desktop.

So imagine my bleeding surprise as we cavorted around the Blue Screen again, as we serenaded each other around the System Restore, as the milk turned to cheese, and the garden wilted without my care as I rebuilt my system, as I laboured long into the night, as a wrestled with you until at last I was free of you, free from your grabbing, free from your damage.

Oh, Google Chrome, how foolish I have been.

An interesting account of Chrome, excellent use of language and humour.

I assume then that you have given up on it? I downloaded it on the first day of release and had no problems at all, and it is very fast!

Nice blog too, black as well my favourite!
