the_rckScott reinstalled the OS on my laptop, and it's working now, but I'm worried about whether or not it will continue to work. The laptop's been having issues with not being willing to wake up after I've had it shut. One time in ten, plus or minus, I have to force a shutdown and reboot. It's been an issue for several months (since at least August).
I'd really like to put money into a cheap laptop, if we can find one that works with my configuration needs (mostly, I need a keyboard with a central trackpad below the keys so that I have enough space to either side of it to rest my palms and wrists as I type), that I can use entirely for internet and writing. I know Scott wants us to all have compatible electronics, but I don't do much of anything here that requires a Mac.
I'd have some problems with accessing old files, I suppose, but I have potential (and actual) issues with that anyway. Leaving aside iTunes-- email, web browsers, the calculator, and word processing account for probably 95% of my usage. Audio files take up much of the filled storage space on my current laptop, so if I'm not dealing with those, I need less storage space.
