Of laptops and power cords......

Negatron, Abba is kosher. We all love Abba.  Dont front.  

What he said *pointing* Who doesn't like ABBA? Heresy I say!

My Toshiba Satellite that runs Windows ME still works.

The only reason I retired it is I wore out the keyboard.

My IT buddy was impressed. He had never seen a laptop with the letters worn off the keys and hand "heel prints" worn through the outer layer of coloring on the case......


That was over 15 years ago. My Compac running windows 7 is still running fine.

I feel in good company. My laptop is only about a year and a half old and already four of my keys have worn off letters, 3 more are on the way. I chalk it up to using a cloth that had a bit of cleaning agent.

Also, I accidently tripped the cords which pulled it to the floor a few times. My mouse USB port is slightly bent inward but that is the worst it got. Still fully functional. My only problem is that sometimes forget to plug back in my power jack when I take bathroom or food breaks from gaming, and the battery runs down. I am very lucky so far.
