of goodbye notebook, hello notebook

After serving me for 4 years, my notebook finally failed. I could feel that it would breakdown but it came too soon. First the battery went dead 2 years back. Then the fan stopped working last year. Now the power supply decided to go on strike.

I just got a new notebook today. Price was a big constrain for me so I opted for a 'budget' notebook.

The first thing I did was to try to test the internet connection. I could not get the notebook to connect to the internet and so I spent a few hours troubleshooting it. I should have read the manual first. I forgot to press the Wireless button to activate the Wireless connection.

Now I'll have to spent time to pack the notebook with my essential software. Then I'll have to think of a way to transfer data out from my 'dead' notebook.
