Had to get a new PC

I suppose it was soon to happen, have had the old one for about 3 years at least. Used constantly. Only this tiny little noteook thing. It apparently carked itself this morning. I turned it on and it wouldn't boot up or some weird thing. Flashed the blue screen of death before refusing to go any further and shutting itself off. Not long enough to actually read what was on it. Couldn't start in safe mode, any mode, nothing. The thing was way out of date now and by the time I got it fixed I could've bought something way better now. You can get better ones than it now for under $400. So I just gave up on it. Went and got another one. Just a simple little thing, only a bit bigger than the old one. 


It has a dual core, very fast compared to the other dead one. It's heaps easier to type on the keyboard. Hard drive over 300 gigs. It's just a hassle having to install everything into it. Have set Win 7 to "basic" and it's not too bad. They always put in these extra layers of crap to wade through to do the same thing, like that's a better thing. Win XP was great, I miss it already. At least I was able to skip that whole Windows Vista nightmare.

Tragically, I've lost all my bookmarks. Thought I had a file stored somewhere but it seems not. Many of them go back years to when I madly debated stupid conservatives online. Even more tragically I lost some rather good porn movies. I'll suppose I'll have to google the site again where I got the torents from. Lost that bookmark too. Think I may have the registration details in my Hotmail. Wow, am really glad for Hotmail as none of the emails were even stored on the old PC.
