Ok so my laptop is pretty much dying, it just keeps repeating the same old dq145 or whatever and also just slowly repeating the number "5" right from when you turn it on. It makes that bepbepbepbepbepbep noise like your holding down a key when you turn the laptop on, even if you physically disconnect the keyboard and pointer from the laptop internally it still does the same thing so something sounds a bit farked in the motherboard or something. I've tried doing a lot of things like taking ram and so on in and out, disconnecting everything I can get my hands on to no avail, I've tried to turn everything off in the bios as well but that is really hard to do when everything is beeping like crazy and you can't move the cursor because of the whole repeating "5" thing. God I hate my laptop! I think I am going to call the "tech support" line tomorrow and maybe take the laptop out to the service centre and see what they can do.

Good news is that we have broadband today! Hooray! No I am just waiting for them to put us on their dslam equipment so I can get the fast fast speeds back.

FYI, I couldn't see that comet tonight, I went up on the roof of our place to look but to no avail. :(
