Be still my heart

Man oh man. Lord forgive me, for there is lust in my heart.

This is not a squee-free zone.

Yesterday, my work laptop shit the bed. Which is Maine-ese (and other-state-ese too, I suppose) for "bolluxed to unrepairable degrees".

I'd been experiencing random Blue Screen of Death(tm) over the past few weeks, and last weekend it was really bad. So yesterday morning I brought it over to My Friendly Neighborhood IT Guys. I explained my problem. They ran a diagnostic on the hard drive, and found nothing wrong.

I mentioned that it seemed to BSoD(tm) more often when I used my wireless card. One tech looked at the other, and asked, "External card? On a T-20 (IBM ThinkPad, that is)?" I replied, "Yep."

More looks exchanged. "Is there a known fix?" one guy asked the other. "Nope." "Do we have any other cards?" "Nope." "Rebuild?" "Nah, just replace it."

To which I responded, "Yippee!"

The tech asked, "Do we have any T-40's?" "Nope." "T-41's?" "Nope."

"Then T-42 it is! Top of the line. Looks like an early Christmas for you."

To which I responded, "Yippee Skippy!"

Love. And also, squee. 40mg hard drive, CD burner, DVD player, internal wireless, Bluetooth, Centrino processor... I am a geeked out and happy chick. And I am the envy of my cubicle isle.
