  1. going to get me an acer aspire m3641 soon.. am sick of my dying laptop

  2. I have the exact same monitor and it's damned good, and the system gets some bloody good ratings on performance. So your laptop doesn't work still?

    A quick question: anyone here into Mahjong? I have a sudden fascination with it.


  4. I was addicted to that for weeks. I was playing Sudoko, earlier. That's another addictive game right there.

    good to know I'll go to the shop on monday to get it.
    and my laptop still is working, but there are several things that are really annoying:
    when it gets too hot, it turns off.
    sometimes I get a complete white screen and have to restart.
    and 2 days ago I couldn't pull my power cable out, because the plastic around the outlet on my laptop melted I had to pull it out by force, so yeah.. a pc is definitely in order!

    That's a pretty good sign of a bad fan or the memory is failing or has failed. The white screen can also be a sure sign of that. But the outlet plastic melting is certainly not good. I wouldn't be touching that laptop for a good while.

    It looks like a nice little system.
  10. Anyone any ideas how to safely wipe a hard-drive of all personal info etc?

    I'm selling my iBook G4 due to an upgrade and want to make it safe for e-bay type scenario in case I can't find a private buyer.

    Any tips gratefully received
  11. Check out this article here.

    Are you reinstalling the original OS on it when you wipe it or just leaving it blank? You've gotta make sure you follow the article.

    I bought a computer system once (I think it was an IBM server, this huge black monster of a tower), and it had all the old tax records, phone numbers, old emails; some of which weren't too family-friendly, bank account details and photos of the Christmas work function. She obviously forgot to get rid of her personal stuff.

    We had great fun passing all that stuff on to her friends, and sending emails to her workmates



    Funny you should say you're upgrading. I'm moving to Mac, which one would do the best job for gaming? Top one is nice, can you have a custom pattern?








  12. Thanks Drew. Perfect.

    I'm going to reinstall the OS as I'm hoping a friend will buy it from me. But if not it will likely be an Internet auction.

    LOL to the Macs there. If you're serious, which one are you going for?
