Used Laptop and Big Fangirling Tangent... heh.

Family went to a garage sale and got a laptop for ten bucks. Nice model, mind you - hp, with about seventy-five gigs. But whoever owned it was rather stupid. I don't know if it was just the kids who mucked it up but oh man it is messed up badly. I can use it a bit and even browse on internet explorer or firefox, but after a few minutes, the browser decides to just stop working and I have to restart said browser. And it seems the damn thing has some viruses thanks to the kiddies playing around with it... but that doesn't explain why the contents of almost the entire hard drive were hidden.

But other than that it is just an awesome computer. I feel like I've been given an expensive car for five bucks.

I might be getting that computer to use for when I would really love to be out and about instead of chained to the desk with my Toshiba(the display on the monitor works fine but the backlight is shot. Gotta learn how to fix that one without hosing the whole thing.
