It's equally cute and extremely depressing when they do this. We can only stand by and be there when they finally admit the truth.

I'm no better, but Lenovo Thinkpads are my poison.

Lol I'm the opposite - Mac at home and PC at work.

I used to hate Apple, but then one morning I woke up and realised all my main stuff is Apple and that I'm just too old to be elitist. I'm not saying anyone anti-Apple is elitist, far from it, just that my anti-Apple sentiments were just me being elitist.

Horses for courses and all that, and I see nothing inherently wrong with noob's comment, but I do get irritated when people can't accept that I use/buy something just because I like it. No one asks me why I like Ribena or Milkybar, they just accept it.

@speed: Thinkpads are pretty damn good laptops to love

Irk: All my mates on FB complaining about these new changes but who'll stick along for the ride, regardless. These are the same people who still haven't gone through their privacy settings after FB busted their shizzle wide open last year, and the irony of complaining about how open it's getting in a post that is readable by everyone on FB is completely lost on them.

Hehe, I own 3 at the moment. Just bunged the older 2 on eBay. 600X, R51 and my latest love the T61.

Core 2 Duo T7100, 2GB RAM, 14" 1440x900 screen, NVIDIA QUADRO NVS 140M 128MB GPU - 8500M GT equivalent, 80GB HDD that I changed for a 32GB Corsair SSD.

Need to get rid of a load of turf and soil and I can't lose it!
The local dump won't take it with the soil and it is illegal to leave it in the countryside Really don't want to get a skip but I think I'm going to have to.

In the process of putting together my new kitchen that I've just bought (well, ordered it weeks ago, but needed to get it and then get some electrical stuff in order before starting). The manual for the thing is lacking to put it mildly. Some of the cabinets come with several parts that are not even mentioned in the manual. The cabinet for my stove comes with 4 parts I don't know where to fit! None of the parts are labeled with anything but a model number, so it was hard enough to make out what all the pieces were. Other times the manual is faulty, telling me I might need 20 of a specific screw, where in reality I only need 12. Have sent an e-mail to the production company, but probably won't get a reply for at least a day. On my fifth week with no kitchen, getting very irked.

Edit:
Got an automated response: Will get back to me within 3 days. Gave me a foreign telephone number in case of emergencies, don't know the country code (guessing it's Sweden) but don't want a huge phone bill anyhow. Guess I'll go to the store and treat myself to their finest microwave dinner to ease my frustration. Might put one of the larger Cokes in one of the store freezers for a few minutes so that I might enjoy a cold soda tonight.

Shop staff who seem reluctant to do their job.

Our jobs are often thankless, grey slogs with heaps of management pressure to be perky salesbots while enduring all manner of idiocy from the public. We have "off" days!

Twitter really needs some kind of 12-year-old girl filter on its trending topics because nobody cares about what they have to say.
