Interesting Liese. Was this recent? Because my friend in Chico sent in his laptop for service in May, and got in back in June with Malware. And during the six weeks it was gone they sent him notices that it was on the way to China, that it was in China being worked on, that it had been shipped back to the U.S. and so on.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
iTunes can kiss my ass -- I deauthorized all computers, reauthorized the current one, and there's still the same issue. I have no idea what kind of issue there could be with the iPod, because I only have the one Apple ID, but I guess I'll just go without those songs. Bleh.

Yup, I'd say within the last 8-12 months.

not your mom's socks.
Twitter is all lit up with tech folks (former Google staff, laughing Squid employees, DJs) losing either G+ access or being locked out of everything -mail, calendars, documents - is anyone else seeing this?

If this story is not leaving out anything, this type of problem with gogole has been happening a while.
Or maybe it is something else.
On the previous discussion, Liese if your friend got good service in the last 8 months but my friend got hosed two months ago maybe something has changed very recently for Lenovo. Like in the last two or three months.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
What about Asus laptops? I've been pretty happy with my Asus netbook, but I don't know if there's any difference with the bigger machine.

Don't know about Asus. My last Asus netbook lasted about two years. Actually the advice about Toshiba is probably good advice. Known as a quality brand with quality service. Don't know who else fits that these tday.
