I haven't posted in a while - I lost my login due to a system crash, as well as being a lazy b****r - why do you think I called this blog "Cleaner's Corner" anyway ? That's where I lift the carpet and sweep all the dust under ...

Well, this is frustrating. My laptop's DVD drive broke completely and after working 7 dats a week for a month (at Adam House, one of the venues used for the Fringe - http://www.cvenues.com/) I took it to a computer shop to be fixed. They looked at it - and told me they couldn't get parts for it. (A Packard Bell EasyNote) and that there were two screws in the laser, which is probably why it broke.

Email sent to PC World to see if they can get it fixed.
