Tech Support Blues.

My VAIO laptop is not working.
It has not been working for many weeks.
I know what?s wrong with it.
And the hard disk will not fix no matter how many times I power cycle it.

The lady won't buy it,
Why I refuse to power-cycle it again
As for windows to boot it takes 15 minutes,
And I get cut off after 10.

The problem with support is
That if you can't replicate a problem in ten minutes
Then there no problem at all.

The stupidity of support
And an ill ness of my computer
MAKE ME WANT TO CRY - or die

so i went about breaking my computer ( so support would have an error message so they can tick a box and lite it go in for repair.)

So by using it for three days and being a a bit careless I managed to get a SMART hard disk failure! Wooh!

So I called support the they were so GOOD - it was really nice talking to someone who relises you kinda know what you are talking about and can sort everything out for you Happy

That sad - the courier did not show today meaning its now gonna be next wed before it can be picked up. And thats not so good seeing there is a two week turn around on the repairs and I need the computer for a trip into europe in exactly two weeks!

I'm getting worried and begining to panic.

I have had to spend a few bucks on GPS for the hand held so I know where I am going but as far as I know there are now video editing and web publishing applications for the iPAQ Sad AHH!
