It has an amazing feature where you may have a 2 way discussion and translate both... 

I tested it with Greek - English and it works really well... I hope it works with Thai too...

It has a screen fault where it turns itself off if I move the screen to much or put the power supply when the screen is at the right angle - it goes back on pressing the power supply but my heart misses a beat each time.

Also need a hard disk imaged and a higher capicity disk put in.

Now I know there are hundreds of shops and there is pantip plaza etc but this is my workhorse which I use every hour of the day.  I am self employed and need it for work.

So even if it costs more if you have a recommendation where they can do this with care then please let me know.

Thanks for any advice

FYI here's the specs of my so-called computer:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Model: Acer Aspire 1691WLMi

Chipset: 533MHz FSB, Intel 915PM Express

Processor: 1.60GHz Intel Pentium M 730

RAM: 2*256MB DDR2-533 PC2-4200 SODIMM Dual Channel

Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon X700 PCI-E 64MB VRAM

Hard Drive: 80GB Ultra ATA/100

WE Index: 2.3

I replaced the HD a couple of years ago with a 120GB Seagate ST9120822A (from an NTL set-top box!) & replaced the battery / power pack this year. It's not in bad nick although the fans could do with a good clean, especially in this heat. CPU usage rarely goes above 50%, but RAM usage regularly approaches 90%.

Anyway, the other day I was contemplating whether to go to Pantip Plaza / Fortune Tower to buy a couple of sticks of 1GB RAM, but simply googled 'Windows 7 slow' & found this great site - it's a list of 17 tips to speed up Windows 7:

http://www.computing...e-guide-to.html

After disabling 'Search Indexing', it was like having a new computer & I couldn't believe it! Indexing basically continuously makes a database of all the files on your computer, in order to speed up any searches; well I can't remember the last time I searched for a file in Windows - Thanks M$!

I haven't turned off Aero Desktop or any visual effects, as I quite like them & my GC is still half decent; top spec at the time of purchase!

I set all of the suggested services to manual & have had no problems as a result, but don't know if this made a great deal of difference, as I did a lot of other stuff at the same time.

I'd brought over a few USB pen drives & decided to dedicate my newest & largest (2GB) one to the ReadyBoost feature. What this basically does is act as a faster caching service for small files, which would otherwise be routed through the slower HD page file; sadly it's not the same as adding 2GB of RAM. I didn't notice much difference at first, but after a day or so I've found that some applications open faster & switching tabs in Firefox is generally faster too. Also, I've experienced faster page loading times, especially on the Addicts & particularly on the ThaiVisa forum.

So if you have an old laptop like me (6 yo) & are thinking of buying a new one or upgrading with expensive RAM, why not try these tricks first?

Let me know how you get on & if anyone has any other tips feel free to post. :lol:

Music is browsed by the artist, or album, or by record label or by created play lists as well as by direct searches. Spotify is currently only available from IP addresses in Spain, the UK and a handful of other countries, although after signing up it can be used from almost anywhere. A link to the Spotify site is here :

Spotify used to give free invites (there's a standard paid subscription service) but most of them have been shared out & used. If any BMs have spare free Spotify invites left and would like to give a fellow music lover (ie: me!!) a boost, please PM me.

Cheers!

..... and it's free!
