Title: Bloody modern technology!
Post by: Steve H on January 31, 2020, 10:27:52 AM: My craptop died suddenly a few days ago, and I've just had to fork out £169 for a new one from John Lewis, to be delivered in the next few days. I'm typing this on a public computer in the library, but won't be online much until the new one arrives.

I recommend buying a laptop, not a craptop. It's more hygienic, also a better computer.

You don’t irritate me.

I'm glad to hear it.
Actually, I did top up in the end. Who needs food?

Is your only internet access via the mobile phone network then?

No, it's only by my laptop and mobile wifi, on payg. I haven't got a smartphone, only a cheapo dimphone.
