My old laptop kicked the bucket the other day and refused to boot, luckily revenue from this website had just been paid by Google so that went into the funding for a new laptop
All well and good?
No, Compaq in all their shining brilliance since HP took over do not have the drivers for my laptop online - only for the new Microsoft Vista Operating System - yet previous versions had the drivers online
And Compaq no longer list the chipsets in the product nor are they listed in the technical papers, just more low brow marketing blurb, even the manuals are just more sales material
I have the laptop working with internet access and correct viewing resolution but nothing else
Ubuntu Linux is my next step and to move away from Microsofts crappy Operating Systems, since MS could not sell Vista it seems they are now using strong arm tactics (again) to force sellers to not support older versions of MS Windows as no one who uses Vista in a professional sense is too happy with it
Also to note from Saturday I will be in Cambodia for about a week so will not be replying to non-work related emails and the website probably won't be updated.
Cheers, see you next week
