I'm sure thats not normal
« on: 27 November 2019, 11:53:07 »

She was using her laptop last night, and suddenly loads of magic smoke started escaping.

*Sigh*, I expect she'll be wanting a new one now.  For now, she's using the MacBook, but better not let her use if for too long as she finds it (rightly) frustrating, and I will be needing a dustpan and brush.

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

That's what it's for, if you can afford it. I gave up arguing years ago about 'need' and 'want', you can't win. It also gives me carte blanche for the rest of the year. I get nowt for Christmas and birthdays so, if I want/need something mid year, I buy it.

Yes can't say I'm bothered what she spends really & like you say "carte blanche" for me do the same you can't take it with you & got no desire to be the richest man in the cemetery.

What about when he's only meant to blow the bloody doors off, and ends up grenading the whole garage? :-X ;D

Or the gout..

Seems to get endless cups of tea delivered in the bath, too..

Sounds high maintenance, to me. Swipe left! Or right? I don't know how the kids these days do it. ;D

I have just used my limited wealth to buy a new 2019 7th Generation 128GB  iPad today, which after set up I am now using. 8)

I am so pleased I have, as it beats my old 16GB iPad Air hands down with speed that has almost amazed me.  :D :D

So, if you can, get a new up to date electronic gizzmo when the old is past its sell by date :D ;)

That is probably due to you knowing what you do and having rebuilt it, something I could never do ;D ;D ;D ;)

It came with Vista, but that came off the second Windows 7 was launched.  Obviously now its on Windows 10, 1909.
