Dead Netbook

[k_a_webb]

After having to purchase new glasses I now find myself needing to purchase a new netbook. It was working fine this morning, although I was a little surprised to get a critical battery warning because I'd only been using it for just over three hours, and then this afternoon it died. It hibernated itself and then I couldn't turn it on again. Right now I'm using James' laptop, and he's wonderful for loaning it to me, but it's not a netbook. I've got used to having a smaller keyboard, a different screen, a better touchpad, and nowI'm using something that's utterly alien. Writing may be a little difficult, but at least I'll still be able to do it.

I have an idea of which one I'm going to get, but I want to see if I can get the old one working first. It's been good to me in the last three years, even though I've had a few problems with it, so to just give up on it feels wrong. Apologies for any typoes. The keyboard isn't as responsive as the old one and touch typing is hard because the keys are in different places. I'm hoping to get some donations via my writing website, so if anyone has an spare cash it would be much appreciated. If you know any of my collections let me know which ones you like and I'll write for every donation I receive.
