At precisely two o'clock, the FedEx guy delivers my netbook.

Me: *takes box upstairs to living room* "The new phone book computer's here! The new phone book computer's here!"
Netbook: *sparkles*
Laptop: *grumbles*
Me: *bounds over to the laptop to post a squeeful welcome-home-my-baby post on LJ*
Laptop: *waits until I'm halfway through the post before giving me a blue screen and restarting*

Aw, sweetie. I'm sorry, but you're just not the shit like my wee netbook.

*pats the computer on the head*

Now to pack up my crap and head over to the cafe for a little while to update my netbook's bookmarks and programs once again.

Congrats on getting your baby back! Much luck and happiness to you both!

Re: the blue screen of rebooting... last week, my computer did that exact thing, it went to blue, then rebooted for no reason. Appalled and terrified, I ran SUPERAntiSpyware Pro (I had finally bought a pro copy earlier in the week), deleted the adware bug it found, and, fingers crossed, the computer has not pulled this crap on me since.

Did you ever figure out what was making your laptop do that?

For the longest time, I had Free AVG and Free SUPERAntiSpyware, but AVG was so horribly clunky and would spaz out my computer. AVG also had issues with ZoneAlarm -- they had a slapfight once that took me three hours of nail-biting horror to fix. I got rid of the Free AVG and bought SUPERAntiSpyware, and have my fingers crossed that it all works out.
