    Just interested to see which laptops people have...

    Make and model
    Vaio TZ150N. Worlds smallest and lightest laptop with a DVD drive. Only 1.06GHz but on W7 it flies for everyday stuff.

    Maybe they're outraged that you're still using a computer that's 5 years old =P

    So many Macs :sexface: I'm going to go retro and take my G4!


    As for a laptop I still need to buy one, looking at a Toshiba at the minute!
    My godfather still uses his G4 Cube from 2001 =P

    Acer Extensa 5220. It's slower than pond water, freezes at least twice per session and is ugly to boot. I hate it

    Acer Aspire 5750. Had to buy a new one as my old one broke. But I quite like this one now.

    I've got a Toshiba Satellite C660. :yes:
    I've got a Toshiba Satellite something too.

    ... Just realised it says L775 on the box, so it's probably not as fancy as yours, but I still felt the need to comment on your good taste in laptop.

    The width of the screen is ideal for browsing TSR - the posts fill the "square" part and then the extra width is just enough for the widgets.

    Same with my XPS 17. Shout at them and they will take it away and give you a new one. Threaten them with a Small Claims court hearing, an they will ship you a new one and not take away the old one.

    You just have to learn to blow things so massively out of proportion.
