Laptop crash

My laptop took a tumble and is now half-functional. I might have a lead on a used laptop, but will shop around a bit. The tip given to me was, "AVOID VISTA", and by golly I'm gonna avoid it. If I were to buy a new laptop -- lower cost HP or Toshiba, I would have to take Vista with it. Blah! I don't want it and would spit it out like a child would asparagus with broccoli florets and anchovy paste vinaigrette. Come to think of it ... most adults with taste buds, myself included, would spit out that too.

If anyone knows of an XP laptop is reasonable order for a reasonable price $1000 or less area, let me know, eh?

so, what is it, specifically that you don't like about it?

I'm just kidding, I realize it's just another thing to hate for you.

hate hate Haiti hate hate hate...

You'll be using it someday, mark my words. People like me are waiting for service pack 2 because that gives the software developers time to adapt their drivers to it... so you see, it's not necessarily Vista, the operating system, it's reigning in all the drivers from the myriad of companies that have products for Windows.

And talk about predictable... the same thing happened when 95 came out, and 98, and 2000, and XP... it's a joke. If Winston Churchill were here, he'd say "did you NOT fucking hear me?!"

I forgot to say on this one:

At least this time it was YOUR laptop you dropped.

Are you still denying that you're A.D.D.? You sure have a lot of distraction-oriented accidents.
