My desktop has died on me, it currently outputs no video signal (the monitor is still good) and when I last tried it, the onlight was on but nothing else was happening. After fours years, it has served me well so I will either try and get it repaired or replaced in the next week. I am currently writing this on my Wife's laptop which basically is a piece of scrap but works for now, it lacks Ms Word or other decent writing software due to faulty win install (and missing Ms office disk) after the last time it went suicidal, and is about as stable as a one legged man in an arse kicking contest.
Until otherwise noted, I will not join or start any other threads until I know I can do so with reliability. If I time out, blame the laptop. In the meantime, I go try and draw a Shiny wild Zippo so peeps can see what I imagine in my noggin.
Cheers and sorry for the inconvenience - Jim

Hope you'll have it repaired or get a new one soon!

I love my girl so much, she has max ranks in diplomacy, a smashing Charisma score if she doesn’t roll a natural 20 at the first store, she will at the second.
This is her bargaining power – New Laptop (middle of the range, most squid for your quid, 4gb ram, 1tb memory, 1gb video card, i5 processor blah blah blah) carry case, wireless keyboard and mouse, hdmi cable, and extra software – ALL for 20% less than the ticket price of the laptop itself. Currently still using 22inch monitor as well so two screens working together as well (and 42inch tv for Portal 2)
So I am back to full reliability and ALL good, however, I’m taking her away for a few days, leaving Wednesday and coming back Sunday so I will be skippable for those 5 days.

Ok, so original plans didn’t quite work out, me an my girl are staying home instead so I guess I can post reliably, consider me un-skippable.
