Craptop

My laptop adaptor came on Wednesday (except of course they would only send it to my billing address so I had to pick it up from the Post Office yesterday morning) and i tried it out last night - it doesn't work. Doesn't fit in the socket. aaaaaaaaargh!!!! So hopefully I have a new one coming on Tuesday or Wednesday. What a disaster for the world of O...

"All the the want of a-" oh, wait, I've done that one already.

If it makes you feel any better...we have £50k worth of equipment slowly gathering dust in a corner of our lab for want of a power supply for the PC sent over with it from the States. The PC did come with a power supply, but the day that it arrived one of our students plugged it in and switched it on without first checking what voltage said power supply was set up to take. *Poof* We've been trying for weeks to get *somebody* to ship us a replacement power supply, but we just keep getting the run-around ("it's shipped"..."It will be with you any day now"..."DHL have lost it"..."no, we can't give you the tracking number so you can confirm that"...).
