Uh-Oh

Postby MM Bro » Thu Jul 29, 2010 8:43 am

Hey, everyone.

I have some bad news to tell you. My laptop that is nearly 10 years old's battery, which is forced to run on a charger, seems to be having even more trouble than before. Now, if you shake the laptop only a little bit, it will instantly shut off because the charger is knocked loose.

Luckily enough, I have an aunt who's house I will be going to many days this summer, and luckily enough, they have an Internet connection.

But after the summer, if this computer is completely lost, I probably won't be on much during the year unless we get a new computer.

So, I'm just hoping this old laptop will make it.

You could always go to an internet café/library or something.

I would if I could, but there's neither of those around here. My aunt's is basically the only place I can get a Internet connection that's high speed.

Your school should have computers. A new battery shouldn't cost much, anyway.

Sorry, but I can't do that either. This laptop is incredibly out of date. I tried using my new laptop that was made just last year, but it doesn't have a dial-up connection.

So, I'm stuck using this.

Well having a computer that barely works is better than having none at all. And besides, you don't have to go to NintendoLand "every time." If you wait for a while, the stuff here will still be there the time you come back...so in the meantime, good luck with your situation.

Yea, my brother has a computer like that too. There are some pretty cheap desktops you can buy online. Or, you could try building your own computer (far cheaper).

So what happens when you try to connect?

For around 300 dollars you can have a brand new hp desktop with a modem.

Hey, everyone. An update on our laptop. It seems like things are just getting worse. I'll look at those PC links you guys posted, but I doubt we'll get one anytime soon. But the laptop charger is actually dying itself. The chargers and batteries for the chargers are outdated, so they're not selling anywhere. Our new laptop doesn't have a freaking Dial-Up modem, thanks a lot, you new laptop makers, and there's NO other laptop that has a dial-up modem right now.

So, yeah, that's all.
