clo_againWeeeeeelll... phone call to the brother and a new driver installed and... it's half fixed. It's done it to me a couple of times since but not to the point of being annoying or freezing the laptop. So far.
I am definitely withholding judgement on the possibly-named-but-I'm-not-decided-yet-Ralph. He's currently getting a five out of ten and that's mainly for being able to connect to the internet faster than my five-year old laptop could. But I'm adapting to the tiny keyboard faster than I thought, so maybe that'll be pushing a six if this new driver keeps it from crashing.
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO BUY A LAPTOP THAT ACTUALLY DOES WHAT I WANT IT TO? As in, work. Seriously. This is crazy.
Anyway I give up. I'm going for a shower and then to watch Silent Witness, which I'm watching mainly because the main guy looks like Harry Potter. And is called Harry. Three weeks on this is somehow still funny. Maybe I should name the laptop Harry because at least it'd make me giggle every time I'm yelling at him for crashing his screen. Hm.
I could do with not being in work tomorrow and getting to sleep in. Mmmmm, I remember the days when I got enough sleep, vaguely. I think they were nice.
