Before this thread closes, I just want to share what I found yesterday morning at a garage sale. I was looking for computer stuff and the lady hosting the sale had a very newish HP DV7 laptop that appeared to be "not working". This laptop is about 6 months old, so I inquire about the malfunction etc, she tells me that the video wasn't working since the last thunderstorm. Well, instead of scooping this deal, I asked her if I could take a look at it for her. Long story short, the required HD video driver somehow disappeared during the storm, and it was using the built-in VGA graphics driver. I connected it to the net, downloaded the correct driver and viola'..laptop back in perfect working order. The lady was really thankful and offered me my choice of anything for free. Since I specifically was looking for laptops/parts, I declined. As I was leaving, I noticed this item lying in the bottom of a "misc" box. I picked it up and back-stepped my way back over to her... " I would like to have this"? She said 'it is yours". Check it out.
Very cool of you to help her!
Elephants are good luck. My mum has had one in her home since we lived in the Middle East. I guess they're supposed to be pointed towards a point of entry to the home for good luck. Quick, do it now so we have good luck today!
