Two rules to get you through life: If it's stuck and it's not supposed to be, WD-40 it. If it's not stuck and it's supposed to be, gorilla glue it.

Re: Is My Laptop Dying?
Hi Terry - pretty good actually. My only slight criticism would be that the keyboard is a bit flimsy, but hopefully it will prove to be robust.
One thing I did discover today though with a 64 bit OS, when I put MSTS on there, is that while the sim installed okay using the guidelines on the forum, Demex would not extract or install - appears it needs a maximum of 32 bit system to function. I know from reading TS.com there is a registry trick you can do if you install on a 32 bit machine and copy over to the 64 bit machine but that seems rather like hard work. So future route development is likely to be for Trainz and Railworks...
