Bloody modern technology!
« 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 look forward to your return with shiny new laptop!

You need an old-fashioned one, Steve - with a wee door where you put the coal in.

And a supply of rubber bands in case one breaks!

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

My new laptop arrived today. Otoh, my payg credit is on the verge of running out, and I can't afford to top up until Thursday evening, so I won't be back irritating you full-time until then.

You don’t irritate me.

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

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