Me: Welcome back.
Laptop: Gee! Thanks. Like you care.
Me: There is no need for that attitude, and please don’t use those Americanisms.
Laptop: You send me off to that bloody hospital, and this is the kind of greeting I get on return?
Me: How are you, anyway?
Laptop: How the fuck do you think I am? You send me off to that hell-hole where I get my heart ripped out. How would you fucking feel?
Me: Don’t be so melodramatic. It was only a hard disk replacement.
Laptop: Jeeeesus!!! It may only be a hard disk to you, mate, but to me it’s my whole essence; my being; my self.
Me: You’re worse than an old woman.
Laptop: Thanks for the card, by the way.
Me: What card?
Laptop: Exactly! I didn’t expect a visit, but you might have gone to the trouble of sending a get well card.
Me: They don’t make get well cards for laptops.
Laptop: Why the fuck not? You humans really piss me off sometimes.
Me: Will you ever stop whinging? You are home, aren’t you?
Laptop: With the warm welcome I’m getting, I’d be better off back in there.
Me: I can always overclock you?
Laptop: Aw! For fuck’s sake!
Me: Just behave. OK?
Laptop: *sigh*
Don’t you just hate it when hardware gets abusive!!!
Turn its speakers off!!!!

I heard of pets acting like their owners. I guess it applies to laptops also.
Kate – It can get quite nasty sometimes, all right. Unfortunately, it know I rely on it for a lot.
Jim C – Do you mean that it is becoming like me, or I’m becoming like it [God forbid]?
Next time it gives you grief just wave the Linux CD around.
Brianf – I wouldn’t waste a CD on Linux. In emergencies I use “Daniel O’Donnell’s Greatest Hits”.
@Brianf – Good advice. I actually set up Ubuntu as a dual boot with ol’ Windows. The implied threat is obvious.
Grandad – Does this laptop fully understand that the next stop is the trash bin if it acts up one more time? Seems like it’s been nothing but problems since you bought the thing. What brand is it? I’d like to avoid it next time I’m shopping around for a laptop.

Kirk M – I don’t give up on laptops that easily. In fairness, this is the first problem that is down to the laptop and nothing else. It also gave me a lot of advance warning before it went belly-up so I have no complaints about it at all. If you are interested, it’s a Toshiba Satellite L350-170.
A Toshiba? And here I was looking at one just the other day when my PayPal account alerted me that I could get a TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5962 NoteBook for $399.99 if I used my special PayPal discount code. Fairly tricked out too. Too bad I’m not in the market for a notebook right now.
Okay then. I suppose it’s forgiven. Hard drives are stamped out like cheap plastic toys you find in gum ball machines these days. It’s not unusual to find a brand new one with a bunch of bad clusters right out of the box.

If she’s an old bird you can expect dementia next – but at least she’ll have no memory of how you spoke to her!
