My new laptop
My old dell inspiron 6000 laptop has been in very bad situation since a long time. It took me a lot of experimenting to get it working in the cold weather here. Since I moved to Seattle, it was not booting up when I press the power button. After fiddling around, I tried heating the laptop on the stove (holding above the burners) and it booted instantaneously. Not just once, every time I had a problem, I did that and it worked 
The hinges which keep the display and the base together were broken. I was using a pile of books to support it. Ah, all that will be over soon.
My wait for the thanksgiving season paid off. I got a damn good deal for HP dv7t on deals2buy. It will be arriving around Dec 7th. This might be my last blog using my old friend.
