    You really have to start writing with your audience in mind.
    I live a commercial free existence. I had assumed this was widely known.

    Also, what's wrong with Sony Vaio laptops!1
    Well this isn't the hardware sexshun but Sony love to play this little game. They build this magnesium case around the innards then go 'fuck you, guess how to get in'. From an upgrade/repair point of view they are the most counter productive time wasting pieces of crap ever dreamed up by man. Most manufacturers have a nice simple port below each item that you would normally need access to i.e. a separate access hatch for the SODIMM (RAM), HDD, Mini PCI-e Wireless/BT card etc. Not Sony oh no, usually with the VAIO's you have to go through the keyboard at the top of the machine to get to the bottom the machine (depending on the model). I have one right now that within one month of replacement of a brand new screen the motherboard died. So I am having to dissect the whole thing to get the HDD out + the new screen of course for the client. To put it another way it would be like someone welding the bonnet of your car shut so that you had to check the oil and water by getting underneath the car. The people who designed VAIO's are moron's.

    Ohh, that does sound bad.
    I bought a pair of Dell desk-tops a long while ago for the office and had a similar problem. Never again.

    The case on my Vaio is just grey plastic, altho' I've seen the titanium ones and thought they looked pretty cool.
    I probably would have bought one of them if I'd seen it prior to getting mine.


    I've got a devil-may-care attitude to laptops. I see them as disposable items. I've built my last three desk-tops and take a modicum of pride in their construction and durability, but basically fuck laptops because everyone in my house just throws them around and insist upon ramming the charger cable into whatever port they damn well like whilst never taking their eyes away from the tellybox.
    The Vaio has actually lasted pretty well, considering.

    I'd loan him some vowels just to catch a break and shake off my poncho.

    What the actual fuck. That is exactly the sort of thing I'd write if I was aiming at pomposity.

    Some time ago we Welsh, as a people, decided to forsake vowels in favour of spitting in the face of any foreigner who is trying to communicate with us.

    Ever the bridesmaid and never the bride, the US adhered their foreign policy to closely mirror the Welsh Way toward the tail end of the 20th century.
