Once again the fucking laptop!

Well, my neverending story continues. My laptop is still completely broken. The clumsy people at the repair service still believes that it is a software failure. "Your XP is full of shit, you better reinstall it again". Ok, so I brought the install cd's to the shop and tried to reinstall it again. As usual, the screen got completely crazy, the dialog boxes appeared as painted by Picasso in his cubist age, and so on. The guy pronounced some of his great, astonishing sentences, as for example: ahhh ok ok, I can see it ... this is because of the graphical mode ... it only fails when it switches to 320x200 (when it was text mode 80x25, the classical booting mode). Or also ohhh I got it! it's the AC adaptor! it introduces noise in the computer...

I am absolutely fed up. My advice: don't buy an Acer computer. I don't know who is responsible, if acer or the vendor. But I don't mind it, I want my computer NOW! and working! :-@
