Kettle Komputer Kaput.

The laptop has gone berserk and will be hospitalised. I'm on a borrowed one at the moment so things may be quiet for a while, although I will try to check in when possible. Be good.

Take the laptop to a techie guy and not the nearest A&E.

Perhaps it's knackered?

Okay, the laptop is back but I'm still on another computer as I don't know how to re-start the thing and my son's gone out! Apparently, something called the "hard drive" was replaced. I have no idea how to get back to my original settings or, indeed, home page. Give me another day.

One day, you reckon?

Mincey, can you talk Roger through how to fix it please. The last effort was brilliantly funny.

I can't even check my emails. Maybe I've been knighted like Parky.

Roger, the hard drive keeps all the data, such as EVERYTHING you ever wrote on the laptop and all the web pages you visited. I hope you trusted whomever mended it.

Why would a computer-mender be interested in gibberish and balderdash anyway?

I dunno Peepmaster - maybe that is the only reason they got into computer mending in the first place - nosy, pizza eating little buggers!
