"A Series Of Unfortunate Events"

Drats, our Toshi has failed us again... for the 3rd time. It was working fine for the past week and a half, after I collected it from the shop when it konked out on us the 2nd time. And it was still working yesterday afternoon.

But last night, when D switched it on, the "Blue Screen Of Death" appeared. We couldn't even get it to boot up on Safe Mode... I told D that the problem could be due to the XP Home Edition.

D and I went to Sim Lim to purchase a DVD-Combo drive so that D could rectify the problem in the office. But it seems like the Toshi is still down.

Found out that none of the shops in Sim Lim sells external DVD-RW Combo Drives that can be powered via 2 USB ports, unlike the computer malls in HK.

Darn Toshi

Realised we are both so dependent on the computer/notebook and the Internet.

D can't recharge his Blackberry via USB; I can't update my blog regularly; the photos we had taken the past few days are in the Toshi; we can't check our emails regularly...

Just our "luck" and coincidence to have a defective set... but our confidence in this Toshi has dwindled. Now it is not a matter of how long the darn set can last, but whether it can even work...

Sigh.
