A week or so back I, in my usual state of STOOPID, ordered a new Laptop on an interest free deal at 30% cheaper than anywhere else. Realised what I'd done and arranged to return it this week.
Today I switched on the Old, worked fine, laptop and it wouldn't boot up! Went through various "Auto Repair" operations and, after 4 1/2 hours, told me the thing wouldn't work and couldn't be reset to basic settings. The new one WAS scheduled for collection tomorrow. I'm sure there's some Internet Conspiracy theory that fits this.
