Sorry if this is not supposed to be here.

No, I have not abandoned vF, but my laptops cord broke, so for 3 weeks, I have been without a computer... Just got the new cord in the mail and I'm back! {Grin} and happy too!

Good to see you're back where you belong {Tongue Out} {Smile}

How did the cord break? The one for my old laptop started coming loose from the adaptor. I had to reattach it with insulated tape to stop it coming out completely.

Thanks Tim! {Smile}

Thanks Ross!

The cord was getting really messed up inside, I'm not even sure how or why, but the copper wire inside was coming very loose to the metal thing, disconnecting from it, then there was a short in the wire somewhere down the line, My grandpa fixed it by soldering a new piece to it, it worked for about a week, then I guess it was to much power for the wire or something and burnt the wire up, so where he soldered it was burnt, so for 3 weeks I was trying to figure out how to get online, got on my PSP, but that wouldn't allow me to come here or anything, said I would have to turn on the memory conserver, which was already on, so I could only get to certain things like FaceBook mobile, gmail, and anything that is mobile ready. So my grandpa ordered me a new cord, because the one that I was looking at was a universal for $90 (£53- I do believe.) so he told me not to get the one at the store as this one was cheaper and from Toshiba, so he got it for $23 (£13, I think) So after 3 days of waiting, it finally came, and I'm back on. {Grin}


and I have some puppy pictures, I'm gonna post later on too. {Smile}
