'Tig... wasn't it Dell laptops that were reported to have problems running SEIV?

You might want to check it out before you leave Japan and throw away the receipt for you new toy.
Run a search on the forum, there was a thread Last year somewhen about a specific make of laptop a that had trouble with SEIV. It might have only applied to one particular Version of Windoze. I can't remember the details, but I'm 80% certain it was Dell. Maybe the problem even got patched out of the game. Dunno.

Does anyone remember the thread I'm talking about?

EDIT: Search results. It was Dell, running ME. Here's the thread:

Tigga thanks Dogscoff for his sage advice profusely, buys him another beer and then pulls out his trusty cricket bat and dings Dogscoff round the bonce again screaming "that is for talking techno babble you computerised weird person!!!"

Actually, I wont be playing SEIV on the laptop - work will pay for that (well, they have to reimburse me for it) -- SEIV is on my PC back home

Anyway, it is now beddybyes for Tiggas - it is not far off midnight here in the land of the rising stomach

...Taz wanders in to Cantina wary of traps and other assorted mayhem reputed to be present. Notes the constantly changing menu and orders the cayenne pepper bananas. After a taste, also orders a LARGE mug of beer. (Tried to get it on somebody's tab, but bartender noted that all tabs were torn up!) He decides to wait to see if there will be more mayhem...Taz's love that!

Afternoon Taz,
The bannans are good, skip the yogurt.
Lets' put the beer on Pooh Stars tab. She won't know. She has not been back so....

Question:
What did this forum do befor GrowlTigga and I?

[Taz-in-Space]

I never eat 'yellow' yogert anyway...Bartender, another pitcher of beer on Pooh Star! Thanks Gryphin for the heads up. Love that free beer!

[Growltigga]

Oh great wobbly danglers, imagine Growltigga curled up happily on his futon snoring like a chainsaw ticking over when Mrs GT decides to give him a call....

Well, I am up now, hello Gryphin how are you, why dont you try the yoghurt? it has an interesting aroma

Hang on, what the hell is a wretched tasmanian devil doing in the cantina? call the exterminators, call the army, call those 2 alligator characters who were trying to catch him

Growltigga reaches behind his back and pulls out a Mark 2 7.62mm Hechler Koch MP5 with underslung grenade launcher and augmented butane flame thrower and starts shooting at the Taz' Devil,

Cue divers alarums, Taz Devil, on fire exits stage left through cantina door

Gryphin looks bemused, confused and slightly strange in corner

Growltigga lifts barrel of MP5 to face and blows smoke gently away - turns to bartender and says "Miss Funnyfanny, I'll have a vodka martini, shaken not stirred and dont forget the olive"

Right, Growltigga Futon, Futon Growltigga, take 2
