Now I don't begin to speak geek. But I had a tech friend of mine look this over, and his response was akin to OMG. He said they are sending me a KILLER laptop.

My current computer is a 2 year old almost Compaq Persario CQ50-130US
It's an Intel Pentium Dual CPU T3200 2.00 GHz
2.00 GB Ram
32 bit os

I don't know how to read my grapics card an all those other funky specs. But from what my friend told me what they are sending puts Iris to shame. Ok, I can deal with that. 2 years of non repairs, royal runaround, fixes that didn't work, an repairs that only made things worse? If they wanna send me a better lappy I'll take that.

Unfortunately it means I will be out of game AGAIN. Though thankfully the turnaround this time is just 3 days. I will send it Monday, they will get it Tuesday, send me the new one Wednesday at the latest, and with the overnight shipping I will be back up an running on the new lappy Thursday tops. With no worries bout sending in the stupid thing for repairs! Woo hoo!!
