I have a 55" HDTV from Sony that's an internal projector. It's a Sony 55A2000. The thing about this one, is that the lamp wears out after some time. I've had that TV for about 2 years. Maybe three weeks ago, the pear in the lamp broke. A new lamp would cost 2000NOK/200£/355US$ + shipping. I knew we would have to replace the lamp again in two years time, so I decided to buy a new TV. I ordered the Sony 52W4500 which is the same brand(bravia), but has just been released this month. No lamps to replace. :)
So I'm sitting here, waiting for the TV to get in stock at the internet store, when my graphics card suddenly figured out it didn't want to play any more fullscreen applications. At this point, I have no money to buy new hardware, so I'm stuck surfing the web and playing whatever flash-based games that are there.
Then the internet got shut down due to no payments. Great, now we don't have internet either... So I'm sitting here on my GF's laptop(I hate laptops, btw), hawking other peoples wireless networks. Sometimes I have to sit outside freezing to even get a faint signal. Also, this laptop only plays a limited selection of games, due to it being pretty old and worn.
I'm just waiting for my TV to arrive. They told me they sent it the day before yesterday, but they never gave me a tracking number so I believe they just lied to get me off their backs. I've had trouble with these guys before, and the only reason I ordered from them was because they were the first store to receive the TV. They were also the cheapest at the time.
There you have it. A day in the life of _fIrE_
