Withdrawal Symptoms

Got some kind of virus replicating in my throat – not pleasant.

My lappy is still in Portsmouth – waiting for them to get around to looking at it apparently :confused: I’m not impressed – I sent it back last Thursday, so it arrived there Friday. I phone the following Wednesday for an update and was told by a rather offensive woman that they were going to start testing it Thursday. So yes – peeved to say the least.

I’m currently pushing my luck by trying to download Suse onto a college computer to burn it to cd to try and install a working DOS on Neville the mad laptop. Neville’s story is a sad one – he’s about 6 or 7 years old, originally brought into the world with 64mb RAM and a 2GB hdd. He then underwent some major surgery and is now a 40GB with an extended RAM that’s about 3 figures longer than his old one. However, the rest of him is still small, slow and mad. Suffice to say, he can’t cope. It’s possible to scandisk him in msdos but scandisking or defraggling in windows fails non-stop. So I’m going to try partitioning him and installing linux in the hope that he’ll stabilise. All this is more for fun that for any hope of using him – he doesn’t even understand what usb is.

Hmm – can’t download suse onto college network – something about using over 400% of my alloted space. Scrooges…
