    Someone I know writes quite a lot and saw me using my laptop and asked how much they are etc, then she asks me can you print things off them, I said yup and she asks where does the paper come out.:rolleyes:

    A while ago she asked can the computer run out of ink if you type a lot (not print... type!!) :D

    Sure my oul one cant even send a text. Shes only been mobile maybe 18 months, she finally succumbed and decided to use my old Nokia 3210 (its 6 years old now, the battery lasts litreally one day). She hates using the mobile, she thinks that at a whopping 12 cent per minute theyre overpriced and there is absoloutely no reason to have one unless you`re a lawyer or a doctor.

    As for PCs, fecked if she will buy anything for it, we`re on Windows 98 and using dial up. ffs I had to get a friend to put the songs on my iPod.

    Ah.. its exactly like that scene from Zoolander. The files are in the computer!

    Meteor is the best network with regards rates/costs/bonuses/free txts. Screwing reception sometimes though.
