Shoulda bought ASUS laptops. They're the best on the market today. Pretty well-known fact that Dell and Compaq suck.

I'm in a room with four laptops now, one's an HP and the other three are Dell and they're all at least five years old (two of them are ten) and they all work pretty damn well considering their age, and none of them were babied. Apart from the fact that they're old and not so fast anymore.

I dunno what you were doin' to yours, man...

Anyway, in the end I don't really care and was only joking. If it works for you, go for it. That's how I see it.
