We're posing here on the terrace at Harewood House, as it is a lovely, sunnay day, and Johnnie has never been before. I would highly recommend a visit by anyone, but please be warned, save aside a whole day for appreciating the house and all it has to offer before enjoying the extensive gardens and terrace. Bring a good camera, as you will treasure the pictures for years to come. We used a Canon PowerShot A620 (a great buy from a colleague, Saudagar, in 2008).My Dell Laptop (Inspiron 1525) was bought last summer in a Kingston-Upon-Hull branch of Tesco. I had to have a new laptop at that time, as I was finishing off a Uni course and needed to get my work done. The ACER Aspire 3630 that I had was good, but had poor capacity on the HDD. The DELL is a VISTA machine - I was suspicious at the time - and altough representing good value for money on paper, gave me huge problems for over three weeks, culminating in a call to Microsoft's VISTA Helpline, and not long thereafter, the machine had to be totally reinstalled and then all my old docs and files restored. That was sooooooooooooo MUCH FUN! I could have thrown it out of the window back then.
The honeymoon period never was - the time frame between payment, and unpacking in the dining room was too narrow to be called a honeymoon - but there was instead a time, between September 08 and December, when the machine behaved in an expected manner. That behavious broke down in the New Year, and the laptop now spends considerable amounts of MY time unexpectedly overheating and shutting off. THIS IS NOT good!
Today I have been on the phone to DELL support (very good), who have decided (quite quickly) to collect the laptop from my home and return it around the 14th August. I am happier, but I am not happy at the prospect of having to go 10 days without my PC. I will probably never buy a DELL again. Let's see what happens re this issue before I pass further comment. I have to backup all of my files today and tonight, and still do the work that I need to do!
