[01:42]<+Tux2> lol, I love support... running through all the stuff that us techs have already tried and know won't work, even when we think we've described the issue well enough for them to diagnose it and know it's time for an RMA
[01:46]<+Tux2> Of course I guess the Indian guy at the other end probably doesn't know what "mushy" means.

[08:40]<+camerongray> There we go, I've messaged Nathan
[08:42]<+camerongray> hey jacky
[08:42]<@jacky> camerongray: Hello
[08:42]<@jacky> good luck with getting a reply
[08:43]<@jacky> let alone one that actually responds to what you were saying
[08:43]<@jacky> heheeh
[08:44]<+camerongray> lol
[08:44]<+camerongray> It's on facebook so it says when he's read it :P
[08:46]<+camerongray> Still trying to de-smoke this laptop :P
[08:46]<+camerongray> Now running Prime95 with a dryer sheet taped to the bottom :P
[08:47]<@jacky> de-smoke?
[08:47]<@jacky> and.. what does a dryer sheet do for it?
[08:48]<+camerongray> Cigarette smoke, and the sheet smells strongly so should hopefully get the smell out
[08:48]<@jacky> oh... duhh...
[08:48]<@jacky> hehehe
[08:49]<@jacky> soak the computer in vinegar
[08:49]<@jacky> <g>
[08:49]<+camerongray> lol!
[08:49]<@jacky> heh
[08:50]<+camerongray> If it was an expensive machine I'd replace the cooling system but it cost me £10 :P
[08:50]<+camerongray> Hoping to sell it for say £70-80
[08:50]<@jacky> sell it to a smoker
[08:50]<+camerongray> lol!
[08:51]<+camerongray> All it needed was the DC jack soldered
[08:51]<@jacky> cool
[08:51]<+camerongray> Only issue is a loose full stop key
[08:51]<+camerongray> Occasionally pings off
[08:51]<@jacky> full stop key?
[08:51]<+camerongray> But I'll just say that in the listing, just clips back on
[08:51]<+camerongray> You'd call it period :P
[08:52]<@jacky> because it is a period
[08:52]<@jacky> hehehe
[08:52]<+camerongray> lol
[08:52]<@jacky> is the comma key a semi-stop key?
[08:52]<@jacky> <g>
[08:52]<+camerongray> heeheh
[08:52]<+camerongray> I can only get it to ping off if I violently run my hand across it side to side
[08:52]<+camerongray> Normal typing is fine
[08:52]<@jacky> suggestion: don't do that
[08:52]<+camerongray> heheeh
[08:53]<@jacky> especially when pouring vinegar on the kb
[08:53]<+camerongray> lol!
[08:53]<+camerongray> A new keyboard is £14.95 so not sure if it's worth it
[08:54]<+camerongray> I might put on the auction that I can replace the keyboard for that price and to contact me after the sale is complete
[08:54]<@jacky> but... how much is the bottle of vinegar??
[08:54]<+camerongray> hehehe!
[08:54]<@jacky> (where is BC when we need him?)
[08:54]<@jacky> he's good at absolute idiocy.....
[08:54]<@jacky> heheheeh
[08:55]<+camerongray> This is the one: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CD4QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reevoo.com%2Fp%2Fei-systems-1211-c560&ei=M31lUbnLAon8OdOlgfAO&usg=AFQjCNGocipLWvpkEL7XLwhf1cphZVk5PA&sig2=5GEVfOGUit0GHbviubDlfA&bvm=bv.44990110,d.ZWU
[08:55]<@jacky> 
[08:55]<@jacky> the one described thus? : This laptop has no outstanding positive points. - It scores poorly on performance.
[08:56]<@jacky> har
[08:56]<+camerongray> lol!
[08:56]<+camerongray> It was the cheapest of the cheap new
[08:56]<@jacky> heh
[08:56]<+camerongray> Would have been sub £300
[08:56]<+camerongray> 512mb RAM for vista :P
[08:56]<+camerongray> I've put it up to 1gb
[08:57]<@jacky> ooooo
[08:57]<@jacky> h
[08:57]<+camerongray> lol!
[08:57]<+camerongray> Would be great with XP but the downgrade thing only works from Vista Business or Ultimate
[08:58]<+camerongray> This has Home Basic :P
[08:58]<+camerongray> Although, that's probably better than premium since it's lighter weight
[08:58]<@jacky> sell it quick
[08:58]<@jacky> get it off your mind
[08:59]<+camerongray> lol, it's not that bad really
[08:59]<+camerongray> Especially for the price
[08:59]<@jacky> are you going to eBay it?
[08:59]<+camerongray> Yeah
[08:59]<@jacky> ok
[09:00]<+camerongray> I've got a pile of laptops to sell :P
[09:00]<@jacky> do you have free listings for your local area ?
[09:00]<@jacky> for things other than eBay?
[09:00]<+camerongray> There are but then you limit the market
[09:00]<+camerongray> Also got this for £10.50 - http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/advent/laptop/7302.htm
[09:00]<@jacky> and you don't have to ship it
[09:00]<+camerongray> Just needed a HDD and I put 2gb RAM in
[09:01]<+camerongray> True, but I'd rather not have time wasters turning up :P
[09:01]<+camerongray> Shipping is pretty cheap and easy in the UK
[09:01]<@jacky> ok
[09:01]<+camerongray> Plus, you charge that to the buyer
[09:02]<+camerongray> I also got a VERY nice HP Compaq nc6400 for £16
[09:02]<@jacky> cool
[09:02]<+camerongray> All that needed was XP installed from it's obviously genuine (:P) Windows 7 Ultimate
[09:03]<+camerongray> And the 1gb RAM upgrade that it had actually put into the slot rather than leaving it sittin on top of the slot :P
[09:03]<@jacky> wow
[09:03]<+camerongray> Yeah
[09:04]<+camerongray> I also got a HP Compaq nx7300, it had 2.5gb RAM so I put it down to 1gb and used it to upgrade the others
[09:04]<+camerongray> Also needed new hinges
[09:04]<+camerongray> MIght keep it for myself as a backup machine for testing
[09:04]<@jacky> don't short yourself, eh?
[09:05]<+camerongray> short myself?
[09:05]<@jacky> leave yourself with nothing by getting rid of it all
[09:05]<+camerongray> Ahh, lol
[09:05]<@jacky> :)
[09:06]<@jacky> you never know when you might need a DOS 6.22 machine!
[09:06]<@jacky> :)
[09:06]<+camerongray> hahaha!
[09:06]<+camerongray> I'll probably use it for testing linux distros
[09:06]<@jacky> cool
[09:06]<+camerongray> Or keep it as a backup WIndows box
[09:06]<@jacky> Win3.1 ?
[09:07]<+camerongray> hehehe
[09:07]<+camerongray> Either Vista Business, XP Pro or Windows 7
[09:08]<@jacky> well... I need to get a few things done
[09:08]<@jacky> see you later
[09:08]<@jacky> :)
[09:08]<@jacky>

[19:43]<@BC_Programming> I'm tempted to try to make this selective copy tool in Java
[19:43]<@BC_Programming> I've always found Java's UI toolkit's lacking though
[19:45]<@BC_Programming> OTOH the TreeView in windows Forms is actually worse than the one available with VB6 and Common Controls
[19:45]<@BC_Programming> No multiple selection and no indeterminate checkbox state :/ had to subclass it and add that...
