That's a bit of a pain, but you do get a brand new laptop and the TV's fixable. Who gets the bits that still work from the laptop with these warranty agreements? As for lag I can't help you with information (I haven't played for days), it was awful at the weekend, but that may have just been sorted by Durnan's new trading system. I was there earlier today and it was trading heaven creating a new character.

Er, just one tiny thought, have you backed up the latest version of the module? Preferably in an off site location. There's probably other stuff there to backup too. Bad stuff seems to come in threes, dunno why? I don't know what your order of evacacuation in the event of danger is. Maybe Choc, Alienware PC, Choc (beause cats do stuff like that), other stuff until you're restrained.

I hope you get things sorted, you should be happier with a better laptop.
