Computer issues
by Jack GrantOK, so I buy a brand-spanking new PC laptop from HP, not the bottom end of line model, no, one that is on the upper end of their product list, and what do I get?
A laptop that functions only intermittently, with the keyboard for some odd reason going into permanent caps-lock mode and the number keypad (yes a BIG laptop with a keypad) getting stuck in non-number-lock mode, no matter what I try to change by pushing the “caps lock” or “num lock” keys.
My Mac laptop seems to be suffering from the aftereffects of whatever caused the memory failure, with extended time in standby creating a situation where it will not awake unless I open and close the laptop at least twice.
Given that all of my other computer resources are in my house, which is still occupied by the person who was watching it while I was in France, I am beginning to get seriously irritated.
So in the interests of trying to maintain a standard of reason and moderation, since I am irritated beyond all reason or moderation I will not post tonight after my struggles with computer issues, other than to say this:
ARGH!
So much for modern technology and the supposed benefits…

NEVER BUY A HP LAPTOP!

Luddite that I am, one of the problems I face (the reason why my home computer carked it) is trying to run W200n and stuff on a box that was built for ME.
Heighho!!
Continual redundancy is the name of the game.
Ryan, don’t tell my boss that!
