Thanks for the gesture guys - been a really frustrating week reporting and having to reboot the laptop every few minutes.
I think it's past it - other than the battery lasting 000000000000000.1 of a second it's just slow as hell and going through photos is so painful it's unreal.
I put in a brand new hard drive (a quick one) a month or so ago, but it's still terrible - time for a new one hence having to sell some stuff.
btw - anyone reading this, don't email me at oople.com - it's dead for some reason since the 26th when the site went down.
Right, gonna go finish that report!
