I am old and clearly missing something here.
Are you annoyed because your friend likes seeing your holiday photographs and has indicated this on Facebook?

Is that not rather nice?

Time we took you home, sir.
I said, IT'S TIME WE TOOK YOU HOME SIR.

NURSE NKOGBUE WILL RUN YOU A BATH AND MAKE YOU SOME DINNER, AND TONIGHT MR SINGH AND MRS GOLDBERGERSTEIN WILL BE COMING OVER FOR YOUR WEEKLY CRIBBAGE GAME. WON'T THAT BE NICE?

see above my lovely.
My Aldi laptop pretty much freezes whenever I get too many notifications. Half the time it freezes while I'm typing because I type too fast for it to keep up. so him doing this is his way of trying to upset my laptop.

Is it an old laptop?
Have you considered getting one of the techie types on here to have a look at it?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 30 Nov 2010, 10:15, Reply)

Indeed. I, for example, have a variety of appropriate tools including screwdrivers, pliers and a soldering iron
all of which could be used to smash the fucking thing to pieces in frustration.

it's only 15 months old.
it was an emergency replacement laptop because my first laptop decided to implode and lose my entire history essay halfway through last year, and I needed a new one.

Little things can speed it up
Get anyone with the knowhow to have a look at the startup, and if you've got loads of icons on the desktop, remove them, it's surprising how much that can help.

That's a good point actually...
If it runs Windows then this little freebie is pretty good at cleaning your system up.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 30 Nov 2010, 10:21, Reply)

Not seen that one before
I use CCleaner for a lot of the removal of old files, can be extremely helpful.

Don't have any icons but computer, documents, recycle bin and firefox.

Good way to be
Check your taskbar to make sure you've not got loads of background programs running. If you're confident enough to know what should and shouldn't be running at startup, go to 'run', then type 'msconfig', and go to the startup tab.

If you don't know what should and shouldn't be left running, don't do anything with it, get someone to have a look.

I'll have a look when she stays over here.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 30 Nov 2010, 10:23, Reply)

Ah, if she's seeing you then spot on
If you're just making a joke, then fair play sir.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 30 Nov 2010, 10:27, Reply)

She is, and I'll quarantine and scrub her laptop before it goes anywhere near my network.

My laptop isn't riddled with viruses though
the virus checker runs every three days.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 30 Nov 2010, 10:32, Reply)

In my (limited) experience, viruses are rarely the issue
It's mostly malware.

Aldi laptop?
Really?

yeah really.
it was the best one I could afford in an emergency laptop-requiring situation, so that was the one I got.
(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 30 Nov 2010, 10:33, Reply)

Aldi are pretty good for electronics
And by pretty good, I mean not the worst.

you get a notification when someone does something to your facebook page
this sets off a fanfare sound which you can't mute. She'll have to hear 153 fanfares.
