Mummy, what does "kernel panic" mean?
Finally brought my new baby back into the shop to get that missing 64MB of RAM dealt with. Laptop was still in standby mode so I nearly had a heart-attack when this jolly fellow in a big red lab-coat flipped it upside-down and started screwing the access panel off. He ignored my plainitive squeaks of protest naturally and handed it back to me all of 30 seconds later. Probably could have done it myself; I felt like one of those people who bring their computer, monitor, mouse and printer all back to the shop because they got an error message saying the modem wasn't connected properly... Unfortunate upshot of this noticeable increase in speed (Windows reboots faster than ever before) is that Linux isn't so happy. Ah, sod it; I wanted Debian anyway :-)
Also got the most bog-standard bag possible for the princely sum of IRP 32. It carries the laptop, cordless mouse + receiver and power adaptor + cables...just; if I try cram a PC card in there it's gonna explode. Probably, like.
