Shame on you IBM + Lenovo!!!

Today I ran my "Software Installer", which is a very convenient piece of software that came with my IBM laptop computer.  You use it to update all of the utilities that are particular to your IBM computer.  I run this utility perhaps once or twice a month, and today I found that there were two new updates for my computer.

One of this was something called ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery.  It was a humongous 235MB download.  Fortunately, I have high speed Internet, but still, it took a good couple of hours to bring.  Then when it started to install, the installation process took forever.  I don't know how many minutes, but definitely more than 30, perhaps closer to 60.

When the progress bar was finallly going to reach the 100% mark... bang! I get an error message claiming that there's an error in one of the files of the package, that the installation cannot proceed, so everything will be rolledback.  Mother fucker.
