selkie at 09:04am on 04/11/2005A really painful pox on Toshiba, who sent me a non-functioning laptop.
So. Now more waiting, and more hassle on the telephone, and maybe the high price of walking into a retail outlet and buying a laptop is worth it to avoid all the crap that comes with getting a cheapish one through the mail.
Also, what kind of world do we live in when your Thanksgiving turkey must be pre-ordered by November 10th if you want a free-range organic one? What is it, Harry Potter and the Grain-Fed Poultry?
While I'm happy that they're anticipating high birdie demand, November 10 is a little too far ahead for me.
It's been a bad morning. Maybe it will be a better day.
