Bye Bye Laptop

After not only crashing, but now returning a BSOD on every boot I decided I had enough.
I rang Acer support and am now getting the laptop sent away due to possible heat damage.

Therefore I am now using my desktop for everything until the Laptop returns. :(
It's weird how everything looks so different without wide-screen and all the other differences my laptop makes.

I also forgot how slow and crapped up my desktop was.

Laptop Mania

I got myself a Laptop this week, I got a Acer Aspire 5672WLMi that says Aspire 5670 on the monitor part.
Acer did what it usually did and formatted my one 100GB HDD into two 30GB FAT32 partitions and a 'QTPARTION' recovery partition.
This is apparently pointless as NTFS is better than FAT32 in everything but speed and having one 60+GB partition would've been a lot better than two smaller ones.
The installer installs a lot of crap onto the laptop that while beneficial, are not needed; Fortunately Norton 2006 was the only software that served no purpose for me.
The Laptop came with Windows XP SP2 installed, but newer ones will come with Vista.
