Man, what has happened with your luck? I would have done the same thing as you... I think HP should just send a new laptop... (A brand new I7 core proccesor gaming computer...LoL)

[Luckie OClover]

I will cross my wings that they don't send it back with instructions like this......

Exercise is important
Give fresh water daily
Feed it cheese, it LOVES cheese!

Ya never know with HP

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!!

I speak Fluent Geek!!! Hehe...

I3... not bad... Its looks like you will get a longer life and better preformance on this new laptop..

I7 would have been better

[JM Ohara]

In an update to the never ending saga that is the life of my laptop (hmm, a soap opera in the offing?) here's the latest word.

I should get my box for sending Iris off tomorrow. As soon as HP gets the tracking number the new lappy will be on the way. Thankfully, I don't have to wait for it to get anywhere. Iris's life is on it's final days now. She's off to be recycled. Strangely, that's kinda sad to me, she was my first link to all of you. Anywho, the new puter should be on it's way Friday at the latest. Sadly, this means no poker night yet again. It's 2 day shipping so the new lappy should get to me Tuesday, maybe Wednesday. Can ya guess what I load on first? So that's the final update in the Life And Times Of Iris.

I will be in game tonight, but after that it's only POF for a week. Hope to see you guys tonight. If not, I will see you soon.

Edit, still no box so ya get me at least 2 more days.

Edit to the edit :P : Actually the stupid box did come in last night. As of tonight I will be out of game till the new computer arrives. I'll miss you guys again, but thankfully this will be the last time. I will see you all soon!

[JM Ohara]

YAY!! HP says the new computer is on the way, so I may get to see you all sooner than I thought!!

[Li Wildtimbers]

Woot woot!!

[JM Ohara]

So, I just called HP for a tracking number. Guess what, the lappy was delivered Saturday, but the landlord didn't know his wife signed for it. I am gonna be on the way in just a few to go pick it up. YAHOO!! I will be back online tonight!!!!

[Luckie OClover]

Congrats my Dear Friend!
It will be so great to see you out Pillaging & Plundering full time again!

[JM Ohara]

Isis is here!!!! Woo hoo!!!!
