| 1248402 | 2011-12-13 08:20:00 | Specs? A friend wants to give her mum a laptop for Christmas but she only has $150 :p Dude who gave it to me just said "Oh did you get it to work? Coz it's my partners brothers laptop and he just wanted to see if someone could fix it". After telling me that I could have it. :mad: It seems that I have been taken for a ride. I'll just remove the linux cd and give it back to him. Or keep it in, that would probably confuse him more. |

| 1248404 | 2011-12-13 08:28:00 | I'd take the disk out. Then its back to the way you got it. They will have no hope of getting it working. | icow (15313) | ||
