Pile of garbage...
Noticed laptop was using battery instead of simply using power provided by wall socket. Typical computer-behaviour I figured, deciding to ignore it. Thought, perhaps laptop will realise need to use regular power once battery is out. Logical, right? No. Hubby, when home from work, could hardly believe my stupidity. Had let laptop completely run out of battery, rendering it stone-dead. Once again have been reminded that computers do not operate according to logical and rational rules. Technology is a mystery of infinite proportions. In any case, unreachable to me. That is why do not have iphone.
Finally have it back! Is amazing how can hardly live without a computer these days. Do not care very much for mobile phone, ipod, ipad, etcetera - but definitely cannot exist without laptop. Was saying to hubby the damn thing is almost brand new! Hubby explained patiently that 2.5 years is about the lifespan of a laptop, and means is no longer brand new.
Oh. Ok then. Typical wasteful consumerist society always at the root of all evil. Designed to be landfill. Nonetheless... need one.
Actually decided to make last minute high-flier dash to Melbourne! Here are some photos from Phillip Island which snapped before camera-battery died.

My 4 year old laptop is in a coma - thankfully I HAVE to take my work laptop home every night so it doesn't get stolen from the office, so I've been using it for about 3-4 months now. Old lappy needs a new motherboard, so it is almost cheaper to buy a new laptop - what a waste!
