My BLOODY laptop.....

I would be lost without the Home PC, last year when It had a virus, it was off line for 10 days, I bought a net book (with windows 7) and I can do most web surfing with that, so at least I am still on line if one goes down.
I can use it at BT hotspots as well, but I wouldn't send credit card or bank details on it.

I use the main one for photos, typing, file handling, printing and I have a couple of 8Gb USB memory sticks.. Just the job. Oh and a seperate hard drive for back-up.

However on the netbook with windows 7, internet explores usually crashes most nights..
I may use another system. Firefox possibly?

Pc's are great WHEN they work, but a pain when something happens that shouldn't.
Doesn't sound that bad to me, but I took mine to PC World and they sorted it for £20-£30 I think.
It wouldn't let me get on line, so no one remote could help on this one.
