  1. me leaning on the screen too hard but its a tablet pc...
  2. second time i dropped it ( i think )
  3. due to attempted theft.
Sucks because each time it was in getting fixed up to 3 months a piece, never use Triage UK in Newport.
So, 70 days is not that bad being in for fixing. I don't know how long i've owned this machine, I was one of the first batch i think. but having not used it for 7 to 9 months since i've had it bad.

I will not be buying another Toshiba anyway...

[edit]
Oh yeah, another thing. they took off the black triangles covering screws ( i dont know why ) to get off my lcd mask. i paid MYSELF for replacements albeit they are only 5p. but they didnt come. i phoned up numerous times why they have not come and they said, "it's only for looks, dont worry <click>". I still PAID for these parts if they are cheap/only for looks.

well i like the way developers try to get things "XHTML compliant" but, people see it in the wrong way.
Example, people say 100% CSS against tabular design.
When thats the wrong way to think of things. IMO.
It should be tabular design against semantic HTML surely?

Making things standard is one step closer but i'd prefer things semantic.

Surely it would make the developers job easier with less complex code?

Why do they still rely on tables?

Well, i better get writing custom controls! Or can i somehow take over the rendering of the login control to render a nice <div>/<fieldset> or something? I dont really want to start all the code with the ugly DB too...
