Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh
Irina's blasted Dell laptop is broken again. It was repaired April 2006. So, after slightly less than a year, it's a goner again. This time when you try to boot it, it quickly reboots, reboots, reboots, reboots -- repeat ad infinitum. It's even quite hard to really shut it down, it reboots that fast.
So, what now? Another fight with Dell for another ten months of Inspiron 5150 usages or shell out for a new laptop? If the latter it will not be a Dell!
