May not be around for a few days

So, the debacle that is this Dell laptop (for anyone who's not got one and is thinking of buying one: DON'T!!!! The casing is rubbish and very flimsy and both the top and bottom are cracked from a not serious bump. Also, one of the keys came off, and it was only by applying my ingenuity that I managed to fix it! *g* A very small amount of searching has found hundreds of people with similar problems with Dell laptops; all agree they're bot built particularly well.) Anyway, it's going back into the shop to hopefully be fixed properly, so I don't know when I'll next be online. I can go on at the library, so I'll probably be around a little bit, but not as much as usual.

*sigh* If only I could get Doyle online!!

Well, this one's just a little useless, casing-wise! My own laptop, an Acer, is brilliant. It's got a large dent in the screen casing, and several bumps elsewhere, and it still works fine. The whole casing of this laptop, both top and bottom, has got a crack in it. And the warranty won't cover it, and it's going to cost £260 over and above the £200 for a new screen that we've already paid! We could have bought a brand new laptop with better specs for that price!

Here's hoping it gets fixed quickly: Laptop Direct have definitely gone down in my estimation, so who knows how long it'll take!

Wow, I'm lucky that my laptop didn't break with the amout of times I've dropped it then. Is it sad I've done it more than once? *lol*

They better fix it quickly. I would hate being without a computer. *g* I'm not addicted. Nope, not me.

I still have it at the moment, thank goodness! *g*

If I could get my own computer on the internet, I'd be made up! But there's something wrong with the wireless in this house, and it refuses to recognise my own computer.

My own computer's been dowsed in water and taken apart, and it still works! *g*

I hate wireless networks. Okay, I love them but getting them to work... makes me pull my hair out! I had the hardest time getting the one in the house here to work and stay working sometimes. I refuse to touch it again so God help me if I ever need to reset the cable modem and it knocks the network offline. *lmao*

Lol! I have no idea what's wrong with this one. My computer works fine at loriel_eris's house! Who knows!
