Laptop kaputt

Just a quick note for all that wait for the next installment of my convention report. Today I brought my laptop for reparature and it might take a week or so till I get it back. Therefore I cannot reach my photographs at the moment. I will continue my report as soon as possible.

I tried to install a new antivirus programme and now none of the buttons work anymore. But I could not delete the new programme either, because it was not in the programme list.

So I decided for an expert to have a look into it, and while he's at it, to install a bigger harddrive to give me more space for all those DT and JB goodies ;)

Awwww... bless you! I'd die if my laptop gave up the ghost. Thanks for being willing to share your experiences with us. We'll have something to look forward to when you computer is feeling better!

Yeah, well, at least I have internet access at work, so not completely deprieved ;) But yeah, I had hoped for less time to get it back, but with the new hard drive it takes longer.

Did you see the first part of the convention report? You haven't replied yet, so I'll copy the link in here:

I feel for you. I lost most of my photos with a burnt hard drive, and my Mum has had something similar happen with her antivirus lately ... what is it with electronics right now?

Hope it all comes back in tip top condition! And I look forward to the rest of your report :)

I am pretty confident to get it all back, I was a customer at this reparature office before and I trust them. It is not completely lost (I hope!), just Windows is very slow at the moment, Explorer doesn't open etc, possibly because of the failed/not completed installation of that programme.

Thank you for your good wishes!
So, what about your time in Vancouver? Anything to tell the world about?

Keep my fingers cross, that you get your laptop back, soon.
If I loose my pictures I wouldn't survive that.

Oh, don't worry, the pictures are not lost. Windows was just extremely slow, so I could not even open the explorer. Therefore, no access to the pics.

Also, I downloaded them all to Paya's laptop in Vancouver, and she makes so much better pictures than me anyway. Many of our shots are of the same things, we were together all the time.

BTW, she posted her first pictures here:

*hihi* He is so funny. That looks like you had a wonderful time with him on stage ... as you said.

Größere Festplatte hört sich gut an! Das kann nie schaden! ;-)

Find ich auch ;)
Ich war ganz neidisch, als mein Bruder einen neuen Computer kaufte und mir was von Terrabyte erzählte *seufz*
Mein Laptop ist von 2003 und hatte ursprünglich 40 GB. Da hab ich schon mal noch mal 80 GB extra einbauen lassen, aber die sind auch schon wieder voll. DT und JB sind schuld ;)

Der Mann im Laden meinte, es gäbe wohl noch 160er, also hätte ich noch mal 80 GB extra. Dann muss ich mir wohl irgendwann auch mal einen neuen Laptop kaufen.

*-*Knuddels*-*

Hmmm hoffe, deinem Lappi gehts nun wieder gut *smile*
...
Danke für's Herlotsen ("Nur wegen Dir bin ich hier!!!!" - mei, schlechtes Zeichen, wenn ich anfange mit Reimen)
...
Und DANKE für dein herzliches Willkommen und die Starthilfe ;)

Lappi hab ich heute endlich wiederbekommen, funzt wieder, mit größerer Festplatte war es allerdings nichts. Ist aber nicht so schlimm, nach 7 Jahren kann man sich ja vielleicht doch mal einen neuen, schöneren und besseren kaufen. Aber bis dahin tut er es schon noch ein paar Monate.

Ich helfe immer gern, wo ich kann!
