Default Jimmy's laptop

Seeing as Jimmy needs a new laptop for race reporting should we the community not chip in and finance it rather than him selling part of his vintage collection. I would have no problem putting in £20. Any more takers?

Funny you mention this I was thinking the same, but more a case of just what people feel his site is worth etc. / can afford

There is a donate button on the top right of the oOple banner on all pages of the forum for those kind enough to be prepared to help jimmy out.
I can assure you any donation big or small is greatly appreciated as the running costs of oOple is very high!
Jimmys not one to ask for money but as already said I'm certain he will be greatfully appreciative of this!

Thanks for the gesture guys - been a really frustrating week reporting and having to reboot the laptop every few minutes. I think it's past it - other than the battery lasting 000000000000000.1 of a second it's just slow as hell and going through photos is so painful it's unreal.
I put in a brand new hard drive (a quick one) a month or so ago, but it's still terrible - time for a new one hence having to sell some stuff.

btw - anyone reading this, don't email me at oople.com - it's dead for some reason since the 26th when the site went down.

Right, gonna go finish that report!

Money sent, again not a lot but I'm sure if all of us give a little you'll be able to get a top notch laptop.
