as much as i adore my shiny new laptop, i have a gripe i wish to moan about in as emo a fashion as i can muster (which may not be all that emo - you have been warned).
i am clacking away on the ever loverly sony vaio vgn-cr320e in the exact colour featured in this link (it's ever so pretty). the laptop features a great deal of loverly "mod cons" in the form of intel core duo processor, lots of gigabytage with regards to space, ram and processing. it also has a much easier to use keyboard than my previous laptop (however, learning the different shortcuts is working out to be mildly annoying, i can handle it). overall, this one is oh so much better than my last one.
so why the gripe i hear you say?
well, along the front of the laptop, just below the touch pad is a very shiny metallic strip which houses the media player shortcut buttons, plus all the lights telling me what's working (power or battery, hard drive, wireless etc). it is so very shiny i can see my refelection in it. the problem is that the bastard thing keeps giving me a small electric shock whenever i brush over it with my wrists while i'm typing or using the touch pad, thusly causing me to be in mild to severe pain all the fecking time, including the very dull sensation of a headache.
i'm still very much in love with my shiny new toy (despite it still costing me money in paying for upgrades for all the trial versions of programs it came with that i should have legal copies of by now anyway - can anyone give me a ball park figure for office 2007 home/student edition? microsoft's website has bollocks all information regarding price), and all the wonderful things it can do. and as much as i may have bagged it in the past, vista isn't all that bad an OS, it just needs some decent ram to run it because it's so flipping FAT! i need to find a way to stop this infernal machine from trying to kill me slowly with it's power!
any and all suggestions are welcome.
til next....
