Flash Gordon, Keep an eye on your Laptop. My HP is on the blink. My PCGURU says its terminal and its now outside the guarantee.Repairs could be more than half a new one.HP have a propensity to overheat. It is recommended to have a gap between knees or table top etc.We have to get a USB Flash Drive to backup material we want to save. We have been promised a good deal for cash.We have had Desis little one updated for backup whilst on SAFARI.

Tomorrows walk in the hidden gems of Harewood will explore the Styx River Walkway behind Crofton Rd Homes and Nunweek Park.. We meet on Crofton Rd Sawyers Arms Rd cnr for our 45 minute Walk. I have just booked @ CAFE RAEWARD for our 1030am fix. Carpe Diem.

I Am booking @ REALITY BITES tomorrow for our 99TH (Can you believe it) Coffee & Chat BITOFADO Gathering on MONDAY MAY 28TH @ 1030AM as we will be in Harewood nearby.REALITY BITES IS DYNAS Cafe Selection and she has asked me to book it on her behalf.It sits on Sawyers Arms Rd/Highsted Rd cnr in block of shops.
Regarding overheating. I have a little fan drive flat cooler that sits on my knee under my laptop. It just plugs into your laptop. They are not expensive and keep your knes cooler in the summer.
I have had HP pc's and laptops and have never had any overheating with them even without the cooler.
I twice tried different makes (because I got a good deal) and both have let me down. The last one was only 2 1/2 years old.
I now have all HP's and don't think I will chamge again.

I have been looking @ a few 3 & 4 Bedroom luxury homes with great decks for Wine o,clock or breakfast with fresh croissants from the Bakery and views to Akaroa Harbour, bush covered hills and wood pigeon haunts and dreaming of a BITOFADO.We might be able to accomodate a campervan in the drive.?Hmmm.
