Grrr! Argh!

The screen for my laptop has been playing up recently.

This weekend I really needed to get the script for my specialism written so I could rough out storyboards and pass the lot onto my friend Nikki so she could make proper storyboards for me. (I really, really can’t draw and want them looking as good as they can be.)

So, true to form, my screen picks this bloody weekend to decide that it doesn’t want to work unless I press on the frame in one corner with my thumb. You can probably guess how damn annoying that is.

So I phone Toshiba tech support and report the problem (as the computer is still under warranty). After factory resetting the thing the problem still exists (kinda like I thought it would). So I phone back. Get this:

It’s going to take up to 5 working days for them to even pick the damn thing up for repair (which is going to cost me £25).

If the damage is covered by my warranty, or if I can afford to pay them to fix it, it will then take up to 3 weeks for them to fix it. THREE BLOODY WEEKS!

So, yeah. I’ve bought bulldog clips in the hope that they’ll help me. Otherwise I’m stuck on the uni lrc computers (again).

Sorry about that. Rant over.

Hey. Saw you on the front page. Yay 42!

Sounds like a manufacturing defect to me, unless you’ve dropped it. This is one of many reasons I dislike laptops. I’m too damn clumsy. And lord knows I’ve spilled enough various drinks on my keyboards in the past- I don’t mind replacing a keyboard like I’d mind replacing an entire laptop.

Y’know what’s weird? I just recently got an email from someone (who’s name is William), the title of which was “Grrrr and Arrrgh!” Is this a weird coincidence, or is this a reference to something I’m missing?
