My Laptop Has Died

Well the prognosis from Phil (DS) regarding my laptop isn't good. It has definitely given up the ghost. When we thought about it though - the poor old thing is over 5 years old and has done a lot of work. DS bought it when he started uni and for 3 years it constantly travelled back & forth to Brisbane with him on the train and bus and was used all day at uni. It was his only computer for the time he lived in Brisbane as his good PC was left here at home and now I have used it for 12 months.

ARGHH - now to look for a new one. Think I will have to leave that to DS as I don't know that much about them. I know when he bought the old one it was one of the best you could get at that time but I don't need anything that up-market - just something to take outside when I sit out there with my breakfast in the morning to read my emails and to take away on holidays with us so I can edit photos and do scrapbooking etc....

Oh No!!I just hate it when computers go wrong....it's only then that I realise how much I use them!!
I also hate buying new ones...there are so many out there and finding the right one is a mine field. Good luck with the search, tell DH to go to it!!
Lucky you to be able to sit outside, I can do that about 3 months a year...if that! The rest of the time it's umbrellas or coats!! Lol!

Hi by the way :)
My last one died a couple years ago when I got a virus in it from messenger ! Grrrr ! It killed my hardrive and swallowed up all my photos ! I couldn't recover any of them :(
I even had virus protection on it ! Grrr ! but they can't stop u clicking on virus links in messenger tho :(
I hope you find a suitable replacement soon! I couldn't live without a laptop. It's the only thing that keeps me sane ! :)
I will come back and read more of your lovely blog soon !
Thank you for your visit also !
Have a wonderful weekend :)
