    Pap~My old pc was 5 1/2 years old and took 15-20 mins to start up & as you may remember so slow.It served us well & until beginning of this year we both used it every day so dident owe us anything.

    Oh yes Beanie I remember. Mine is super fast and its not a problem hence why I am reluctant to buy a new one. I actully joked with Mum that if this one went bang I would just keep my netbook untill I had saved. I think my brother is of the 'throw away society' and he has a new laptop each year.

    Why don't you just rip the flap off?

    :eek: No then it will not look right and would annoy me. I have been looking online and the prices for cases are anything fro £20-£200. I think for that price I will keep buying my selotape ;) :rotfl:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
