Cool, I was just thinking that I should perhaps try and get the laptop to
work again. (Why it would work now I have no idea - but it feels like it's
worth a shot) and here you come (actually finally I've managed to catch up)
and mail about it. :)
Unfortunately I couldn't find the power cable and the stupid thing wouldn't
even start (and then shut off) as it usually do.
Perhaps I'll try somehting like that (knowing quite well that there
probably isn't a shop in town that can do it). I'm still wondering if I
should buy a new battery - but perhaps there's some other problem with it,
and it isn't in fact the batteries that aren't working?
I bet that if I had the docking station that would really help (can also
load the batteries, couldn't it?) - but my father has (as I mentioned last
time as well) lost it somewhere around the house (how he manages to do
things like that is beyond me since the house isn't that large).
