I know I mentioned in an earlier post that I got a laptop for Christmas.
It's blimmin' awesome, and I love it to bits.
Anyways, I only managed to figure out how to steal my home internet on it the other day. And by figured out, I mean I got someone else to set it up for me, (I am so lazy. =])
I don't think I mentioned before what kind of laptop it is! It's a vaio VGN-NS10L
I don't know what that means, but it might mean something to someone!
The only things I care about are that it looks pretty (check), it has internets (check) and it has a keyboard which I can use without much trouble (check).
The worst thing about it is the lack of a number pad, but you don't really get number pads on laptops, so I suppose I'd have that problem with anything!
As well as a new laptop, I also had to get a new phone recently. (Sob!)
I've had my old phone, a Nokia 3120 (I think), since I was 15. It stood with me through thick and thin, but the poor thing was in tatters by the time it finally gave up the ghost. Numerous scratches, a (purple!) ink stain, a crack running from the top of the screen to the bottom and several other, smaller, cracks, dents, scrapes and bruises.
The aesthetic damage I could cope with, I think it gave the phone character. But once it started hanging up midway through a call and not receiving text messages for hours on end, I knew change was afoot.
Finally, it stopped picking up a network altogether for up to hours at a time. Now that was depressing, because I'm a fairly heavy phone user.
Eventually, I decided I had to change phone. I wandered into the Carphone Warehouse and bought a black Nokia 6300.
While I'll admit it's pretty awesome, and has a lot of things my old phone didn't (a camera, mp3 player, radio, bluetooth... These things are amazing, I can't cope with all this luxury), I still kind of miss my old phone.
Three years is a long time, and I'm a creature of habit. I'd gotten used to the occasional malfunction of the left arrow key, the three button presses it required to turn off and the general interface of my old phone.
It was a piece of crap, but God, I miss it.
Still, once I manage to actually work up the courage to get rid of it, I'll donate it to the
Jack and Jill Foundation. At least then I'll know it's done some good!
So that's about it for now! New laptop, awesome. New phone, not so awesome, I miss the old one. =(

Awwwh I know how you feel about that phone. I was the same with my old Nokia but it was just sort of giving up since I'd had it 3 years. I moved on but I still have it as a back-up in case something happens to my iPhone.
Also, your laptop sounds trés chic ;)@PatronSaintOfTheDenail - I'm on my laptop right now, not studying! I love this thing!
