My laptop has died and gone to silicone heaven, I'm reduced to a mobile and web'n'walk. Rubbish. :(

My poor Tosg died before Christmas, hence this shiny new HP. The Tosh seems to be working again now (not that there is a shortage of laptops in the TheBoy household - I can see 5 in my lounge :o)

Bugger. The HDD is toast :'(
Anyone got a laptop HDD, doesn't have to be big - 5G will hold XP and TIS

Being very capricous about keyboards, programming on a laptop is PITA for me unless it has a big keyboard for my big hands.. ;D (carrying
an external with me is no option)
last year I take one Tosh from job as they were new and shiny (free)
but stay in the bedroom for 6 months
and after I give back ..
so I have no laptop .. ;D

All is not lost! Have found a local guy who can fix it for £25, thats not so bad.

No mate.. your no Geek...
I don’t actually know how many laptops I own :P
I have at least 6 laptops that will work straight away as they are, probably another 5/6 which just need an OS installing. And another half a dozen which are in bits needing bits like HDD / Screen / Motherboards etc.
PC wise... I 'think' I’ve got 5 in my bedroom! Then another half a dozen in the loft!
Servers... I have my IBM server which is on 24/7 and host a few bits and bobs (my profile picture to the left is one of them!). I’ve just got another IBM server, which I’m using as a PC at the moment as its quick - Intel Xeon 3.06Ghz with 2GB ram! ;D
In the garage I’ve got two old rack mount servers which are essentially useless as there only 233mhz :-[
Then there’s my IPAQ PDA.
And to top it all... I’ve got my own phone exchange in my room with two telephones and a cordless phone all on different extensions! (I use it to connect old laptops to the web when they don’t have a network port on them... I just dial up to my own server, so its completely free! ::))
No wonder my parents go mad at me sometime! ;)

Yay! All fixed, turned out to be a busted trackpoint causing the error. Found a guy 5 mins round the corner who repairs them (through ebay of all places!) and £25 + a new keyboard later and its all sorted, well happy... :y
