This piece of junk is my work laptop. My department wanted to get me a new laptop when I came back from IACS last month, but IT insisted on a reconditioned model claiming it would be as good as a new one. Well if that's the case then they need a new supplier as three weeks in my laptop spluttered through a meeting this morning before fatally crashing whilst I was trying to write up the minutes after lunch! Not impressed. The only saving grace was that I did a back-up last night - how's that for a sixth sense, unless of course it was the process of backing it up that caused the problem!
