Update:
Last night I did some work on my Laptop to get it back up and running again, as it turned out, the Laptop was actually fine it was actually the plugpack adaptor that had failed, more specifically, it was the DC plug that fitted in the socket on my laptop, so I set about fixing it, three wires had broken off inside the DC plug so I soldered them back on making sure I got the polarity correct, after using some heatshrink to cover the exposed electrical connections (not dangerous since there was only 18V DC involved) and to strengthen it a bit, I plugged the plugpack into my Laptop and plugged it into the mains, the Laptop booted up normally and the battery started charging up like it was supposed to.
So how's that?, all it took to render my Laptop useless was just three broken wires.
My new Digital Camera should work fine with my Laptop since it's running the same Operating System as my Desktop PC.
Anyway, we are back up and running, and we can get on with finishing my guitar, still waiting on the replacement DT CG Final coat MkII to arrive in the post, the body feels like it's dry enough for another coat of Intensifier, it's been about 6 days since the first coat of intensifier was applied so I might see if I can apply the second coat this afternoon.
sounds good Doc, again I was about to call out for a search party !
you are getting beaten by Shazz's build diary is page 46 but don't think it will take long for you to overtake her build diary size Doc !

Hahahaha......you guys must have been really missing me, Wokka.
I sent out a search party to go look for me but they ended up getting lost themselves, might have to have a few stern words with them, if only I could find them, myself, and a magnetic compass that actually pointed north rather than some vague direction approximating north....oh, hang on.....I made that compass.....*face palm*.....*cheeks turning red from embarrassment*.
I'm actually not really too worried if ShazzRandom beats me to the finish line, given the amount of trouble she's had with her build she deserves to win.
