I love Autumn for other reasons, but I love the *easiness* of the warmer seasons.<br /><br />Sounds like your laptop is doing well too. But, yes, there's a need to be proactive sometimes; I take it for granted that this machine will just do everything I want it to and if it should fail me completely one day, as I fear it now may, I'd be buggered (work AND leisure all tied up in it...) The time has come!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-88260873991130923842013-09-06T20:34:34.760+01:002013-09-06T20:34:34.760+01:00Your descriptions of the (presumably?) dying days ...Your descriptions of the (presumably?) dying days of summer are lovely. It's a lot cooler today (which I like!), but the previous few days were incredibly heavy and warm. Is it all over for another year I wonder?<br /><br />My laptop is of a similar vintage to your PC and also occasionally makes a series of alarming noises, in addition to becoming almost untouchably hot. Maybe I need to be proactive for once and consider a replacement before something calamitous happens. <br /><br />I hope your upgrade is swift and painless.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-83501106014624702012013-09-06T10:25:12.415+01:002013-09-06T10:25:12.415+01:00Oops.

But you won't have been the first, or the last, I'm sure.<br />Maybe they should come with 'washing' instructions, ie. do NOT machine wash, spin, wring, tumble dry, iron, etc....?<br />Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-35056540721447010632013-09-05T22:02:13.210+01:002013-09-05T22:02:13.210+01:00On the day I put my iPod through both wash and spi...On the day I put my iPod through both wash and spin cycle. Note to self: check pockets before throwing shirts in the laundry basket. New one on order, my fourth. It's 7th generation apparently. Bloody hell, how long have these things been around?

I can't seem to stop myself messing about on it today, though, like I'm never gonna be back, making this ol' machine work to its very last breath, I really must get back to my paints and paper.... they don't crash... (although I'd kill for a back button)<br /><br />Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075393268513251879.post-78130234209616643212013-09-04T16:14:00.665+01:002013-09-04T16:14:00.665+01:00A friend of mine who I was helping get a site sort...A friend of mine who I was helping get a site sorted out had his ageing machine shrug off its mortal coil earlier in the week - bad news.

Every time I open it I just assume it's going to be dead. Every time I'm disappointed...and have to chew on it while the machine goes through it's warm up and all the various programs sputter to life...the scans run and crash the pages I've opened, etc.<br /><br />As for Summer...I'll have to get back to you in October.<br /><br />Good luck getting back up...don't stay gone. e.f. bartlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940814285264472785noreply@blogger.com
