Hey, if you could swing by when you're in the neighbourhood that would be excellent because...
we're not coming to the movie tonight. We're going to have a friend over that is going through a bit of a crisis. So you could be holder of the passes.

Michael talked to futureshop about the lappy cord. If you stop by I'm sure he'll let you know what they said about getting a replacement.

Computers suck really, really, badly. I spent most of yesterday trying to turn the bluetooth on on my laptop...

Only to find that calling it "bluetooth ready" and including a bluetooth button with a bluetooth picture next to it and writing all about bluetooth in the instruction manual doesn't actually mean it has to have bluetooth on it.

So I sympathise to some extent.
jody:
Whoops, should have read the whole thing.
Moral of the story... when it comes to lappies, buy the warranty.
agenda:
I read through all of that....and I'm sorry for you. Computers are frustrating POS's half the time...or most of the time rather. Hope all is fixed properly.
freakpirate:
Spring always seems to carry a great deal of confusion and addled brain. I miss summer and fall. The worst I seem to deal with then is a bit of sunburn and bouts of autumn-induced nostalgia.

I could explain you why some things are done... but the short version is "many techs are stupid and lazy"

Sorry about your luck
jody:
I suppose I'll find out what happened tomorrow.

I lived in Kent until I was eleven, and Kentish women enjoy two things: annecdotes and complaining. As such I enjoy reading rants biggrin

I couldn't teach teenagers, personally. All throughout school years kids are developing so fast you need completely different strategies to teach them and even to cope with a room full of them, even between year groups. But it's exciting tongue

I know how you feel. I live by my lap top. Its the only means of communication in some places the gov't sends me. Imagine my supprise when it died while I was in Quebec.....and I don't speak Frenchshocked

by my recollection, your walk out to the car to find your stuff makes you the last person in bed tongue.
