Blahh....

Can anyone give me an average price for a good flat-bed scanner and a new computer? With references (URLs)? *whimper*


I'd promised my tutor my veryveryvery late assignment was going to be in on Friday. It's Monday and I'm nearly done. I was typing frantically this morning (while mum swore at the bathroom fan switch she's trying to replace it which has resulted in much hilarity and swearing and almost-success) so I could get to work at 12.

I turn up to work a couple of minutes late, eating busily. Turns out one of the staff couldn't make it in, so my boss had been trying to call me to change my hours till later. She was apologetic, and I'll be working 3-5 this afternoon instead of 12-2. I still have some assignment to do, and I've been plugging away at that, but I've hit the budget/schedule part, and I sort of have a schedule, and I'll be able to bullshit my way through the rest. But my hands hurt (fucking tendons) and I've got two assignments to go and I want this to be over already, all of it. /whine.

By Friday this will all be over. (clings to the idea)

New Computer...you want the whole thing including monitor etc?

You want it cheap the best way to do it is find some one who can build it from scratch.

If you do that you could get a nice solid system for under $400. But it really boils down to what you want to do with it. If it's just for word processing and net stuff you could get it as cheap as about $300.

Lemme know if your hands need fixing, n if/when you want to meet up for said repairwork. I'm always happy to help fix friends *glaremutters at the everbroken aki*

I think I've worked out it is for an assignment, but if you want one I think I have a working scanner I could give you. (It was given to me from someone else who had brought a new one and I never got round to plugging it in)
