I happened to ask Ra about whether his laptop had a single core processor and whether the Centrino Core 2 Duo was a 64-bit processor. This is what happened. At least, the interesting part.
[17:40] Ra: This laptop is ok.
[17:40] Ra: Serves the purpose.
[17:40] Ra: I'll get one when this gives up and dies.
[17:42] Me: when the processor's ghost exits through the cooling vents...
[17:42] Ra: Yes then.
[17:43] Me: ...and its tormented cries rent the fabric of your display into a complicated networks of tears...
[17:43] Ra: Haha.
[17:43] Me: ...when the keys become so weary that they no longer produce a click, not even the cheap sound that compaq is famous for...
[17:44] Me: ...when your battery will leak critical life blood lithium ions...
[17:44] Me: ...and when there is no nirvana playing in the backfground to make the whole thing ironic as hell...
[17:45] Ra: Ah, my suicidal laptop.
[17:45] Me: ...simply because the magnets in the speakers have long demagnetized to scrap iron.
[17:45] Me: I am sounding bleak aren't I?
[17:45] Ra: You are sounding rather funny.
P.S : I just wanted to rub in the fact that I was getting a new laptop. Fully loaded. Well, almost.

That was like a Rapidex course in laptop engineering for me!! Thanks!
My poor Sysadmin!! He just gave me a fully loaded Viao! Thats the second in a year.
Gosh!!! It was that terrible eh? the conversation, I mean. I can give some really nice tips and tricks to squeeze performance out of your laptop once I get mine to do fancy stuff.
But then again, you use windows right???
:P. The damn piece of code is highly over-rated and well...simply...lousy. Use linux!
My cousing (who got the said Dell for me in question) has a Vaio. Apparently it doesnt have speakers.
Not its not bad...but I will be spewing this jargon to make him get me a new one :D
Hmmm... I am being used.
Sigh...I feel like a windows Cd.
lol!!
p.s Windows rulez!!! :p
Windows sucks.
Check out you-tube for videos of something called compiz.
I am going to install linux and then compiz. Anytime you feel like dropping your jaw down by a mile, let me know, I will be more than happy to demonstrate the power of linux to you.
:)

Oh. I forgot to mention.. Brilliant post..Processor's ghost through the vents.. LOL
my previous comment was a comment on your semi-stupid comments..
Buzz off man. I have been amarok on linux for as long as i remember. Some cupf-psycho(read ECE student) doesn't have to tell me.
Is this all a result of having become an engineer at long last??? eh???
@safari-subbu : try amarok was a joke dude..
evangelist to new user: "use linux. why.?. Its got amarok... WoW"..
and bingo for the engg bit... u coudnt be more right...
@Safari Al: I think it is completely stupid and not semi stupid to be grabbing any and every straw to show off ones itsy bitsy technical knowledge in front of non techie people :)) Just saying!
aha...non-techie... well put macchan...
@itsy-bitsy : maybe , maybe not...
I wasnt trying to show off. I was justtrying to be nice to funny-mallu-blogger-woman. I should get a toblerone, nay, two toblerones for that.
Someone else it trying to show-off knowledge. Like i keep saying, I am just a nice guy!!!
@subbu: my apologies... dint quite get ur intentions right...You're quite the tech-support guy... Carry on..
Nice guy.. you wish...
Er. Congrats.
@safari Al: I was talking about the someone wonly! No Toblerone for you for allowing showing off by show offs to your commenters!! :p
@silverine: I didn't quite get that. But, atleast 5-star?
@mins: you still remember to use a computer??? :)
