Within 48 hours, I should be assigned a number, after which I can pack it up, and ship it.

Which means... I won't have a laptop. No computer of my own. I'll have to be absent for a while, from everything. According to the manufacturer, most issues are handled fast and it will be shipped back within seven days. So it won't be a long break.

After that though, I might still not be in the clear, because there might also be a software issue, which probably means I'll have to do a full recovery, which in turn means... Losing everything. Running a recovery program, don't know where from, might be a hidden partition on my laptop, I don't know, I'll have to find out. And then redownloading and reinstalling everything.

Hopefully it's just the hardware, I would assume it gets covered by the warranty but by this point, I can't say I care. I need a properly functioning laptop, and if the start up sequence takes over five minutes, it's not working. Everything keeps freezing as well, constantly...

Either way... There will be a silence from me for quite a while. Happy new year to everyone, and... see you later I guess.
