As said, gave it a drink of wine last night for the first time, then it started smoking, so gave up and pulled the plug, must of had a hang over cos it would not wake up this morning, tetchy things aren't they? so went and bought a later model, wonder if the same would work for wives, Rick

Wouldn't have happened with my Panasonic Toughbook CF-19

Those of you coming on the laning weekend will get to see her in all her glory and those that get left behind will be kept up to date in the evenings with pictures posted to keep Zippy posted

Waterproof

British Army use them

I tried my old laptop with a drop of single malt scotch & it's been hung over ever since.
I am glad it didn't smoke though as that doesn't sound healthy.

I'm sure I heard your wife ask a similar question, but for husbands, on the " How to get rid of your Husband Forum"

How do I know.....?

My WIFE told me...

is it a notebook,as it might be the keyboard.

solarman216 · 07-05-2015, 21:50

Old lappy dismantled, hard drive removed together with the 4gb memory, got caddy for drive so all important stuff reloaded onto new lappy no problem, keyboard better and nice anti glare screen, old comp was almost 3 years old and had had a new keyboard, so I was due a replacement, and am now happy I have one with a bigger screen, the foot print is a little big for my desk but I can manage, and because the cables come out in a better configuration I am less likely to snag one to pull my wine glass, Oh it is a Lenovo B50 by the way, Rick

panelbeater · 08-05-2015, 05:44

sorted then.

briggie · 08-05-2015, 14:57
