Lizzie, it’s three years old – that’s like 100 in dog years. Get a new laptop, otherwise people may mistake you for Alice as her spelling sucks big time.

LOL Gab.
Lizzie, I know what that’s like. My old laptop has a sticky e, out of warranty and about three years old it’s sitting idle until I can put the things I want to save from it into a spare memory gadget.

My work computer, still under warranty, has a sticky 4, which is interesing as my print code has a 4 in it. Leads to very annoying things happening. I should let the IT peeps get me a new keyboard, huh?

Unfortunately, he is flat out at work right now, up early and thus early to bed, and has little time for long discussions about minor purchases like mine. Get whatever you want darlin’ is his usual response. I don’t know what I want, I complain.

I have an Amazon account so may try them, thanks BRC. Otherwise I will wait for a week until HIA can help me with the purchase or at least send someone else to my rescue with some sensible advice.

If I hit the ‘a’ key hard it works, and who needs a battery?
I will manage for a while longer.

I am off now to recharge my own personal batteries in the Land of Nodd.

Lizzie, it sounds like the battery will no longer retain a charge. If your laptop is more than three years old, odds are that you won’t be able to get a replacement battery. I’d have to agree it’s time for an upgrade.

Ebay – chances are Lizze would be able to find a replacement battery for her laptop even if its 6 years old on eBay. It’d just be a 3rd party one (and much cheaper too).

Will I hve to lern Windows 8 though?

Avoid Windows 8 if you can.

Or just buy an apple at the high prices. They are much better build quality than most else.

Speaking of civilisation and nations, for the first time I’ve watched snippets of Geordie Shore. Conclusion: I see no down side in a re-timelined history in which Hitler won the Battle of Britain.

Even Hitler would have eventually decided against invading/occupying that filthy toilet for a country. A permanent blockade, quarantine, and irreversible ban on UK emigration was the parallel universe outcome of WWII. Sounds good to me.

Will I hve to lern Windows 8 though?

Windows 7 ws tough enough for me.

And don’t mention the filing. I’d hve to sort out all of my files somehow and decide wht to tke with me. Just like packing.

But probably better than looking nd sounding like Alice, I must agree.

My laptop has a sticky ‘a’ key, won’t work on bttery,
