Les Jones: Katie vs. the Laptop

Home Life > Katie vs. the Laptop

So the other weekend we heard a thud. I went to investigate and found Katie holding a blue Ethernet cable. Attached to one end of the table was Melissa's laptop.

I say to Melissa, "Uh, by any chance did you leave your laptop in the floor?"

Answer: "Uh, no."

"Well, it's in the floor now."

One restart later it booted up just fine and has been working ever since, despite falling off of a desk onto a Pergo floor. Not bad for the cheapest name-brand laptops I could find two Christmases ago (I got an identical one). And things like this are why I bought cheap laptops.

Heh. Actually we have it, but for some reason Melissa's laptop can't stay connected via the house wi-fi for more than a few minutes. I've tried swapping cards with her and it doesn't make a difference. Her laptop can get on and stay on wi-fi networks everywhere else, just not here. Started happening a month or so ago.
