Well, finally my laptop has decided to get it's own back from its severe over-use and has now died.
Slightly distraught It means the only time I can use the internet or write code is while I'm at work unless I pay rates for an internet cafe. There's so many things you *can't* do without the internet... fully sucks. Not to mention the fact I'll still be paying the £17 a month connection since I'm on a contract. Grr... damn computers.

LOL yeah, my laptop DC port and power cable have been held in place with stick tape for the past 3 months. The port is snapped off the board and the solder refuses to bond anymore (we tried to repair it too many times).
I'll have another go at re-soldering it over the next week and see what happens. Can't really afford a new PC at the moment so I guess it's worth a shot
sorry about your laptop btw. i agree with feyd about going macgyver on it.

Damn hell, that is outrageous! Mine is $17/Mo for AT&T (was SBC) DSL. They have a special right now where it is like $12/mo or something like that. Those dudes are sticking it to you.

Any chance that your company has any old ones laying around they can 'indefinitely loan' you?
Sounds like a fun job to piece together a system. =]
