    With the hot weather I was surfing the net and downloading a few E-books on my laptop. Storm was coming through so I switched off in case of lightning strike. 

    Laptop made a strange short sound as it turned off. After the storm tried turning it on and it refused to go. Bought it in 2010 so it's done a bit of service.

    Ordered a cheap refurbished Laptop - hope it gets me through a couple of years, only got a small SSD on it so that will limit what programs I put on it, will mainly use it for surfing the web.

    Back to square one. Supplier who I ordered laptop off sent message saying computer was out of stock. They offered another model for same price. When I checked that model at their store it was nearly 30 dollars cheaper. Demanded refund and got it. Back in the hunt at other places now.

    And I thought my two machines are old at 2020 and 2017.  Have you considered a memorial picture of that old macnine on your wall?  wink
