The good and the bad

+ THE GOOD. My new laptop arrived today! ^_____^ Actually, it arrived last Thursday, but I was at work at the time and no one else was at home to sign for it D: And then it was the Easter long, long weekend, so then when we rang on Tuesday to organise another delivery time, they said the earliest was Wednesday, which was today. Well, at least it's here!
It's so different from my old one that it's taking a bit getting used to. Coz everything from the size to the various port locations and the keyboard layout is different. I actually haven't really used it yet, coz I wanna wait til my brother gets home so he can help me get it up the way I want and partition the drive and such. So I haven't installed anything on it yet. All I've done is look at it! SO SHINY! :D Though that might just be the plastic...
Ah! And guess what I named it? yygall! I took your advice about it :P

+ THE BAD. My old laptop is effectively dead. Not coz the new got here and I'm retiring it, but because it is leterally, half dead. It has less than 10% battery power at the moment, so tayuri, when I said I had to go, I really meant it! It wasn't entirely because I wanted to play with my new toy. It's coz the power cable has been slowing fraying over the last few weeks and usually if I twist or leave it a certain position, it'll stay charged, but when I got up this morning, it wouldn't connect to the plug no matter what I did D: It's all I could do to move some of my important files off it before it died completely. Actually, most of my files are still on there D: So, I'm in a bit of a panic at the moment. Coz one computer with lots of files is dead and the new one can't have anything done to it til I get it partitioned, which is why I'm using the main computer to type this. I don't know how I'm going to move all my files off there if it won't turn on >_> I messaged my brother coz I know one of his friends also has a laptop of the same brand, so I'm hoping the power cables are compatible *prays* So since I have nothing to do at the moment, I resort to blogging :P

Oh, and I have to work tonight (I usually don't work today) D:
