rix_scaeduOkay, a little background first.
The laptop I write Nai on has begun to be a little temperamental - it doesn't always boot up when I start it up, which I believe is a sign that the hard drive is beginning to die. Today I went out to write Nai and Windows wouldn't start up, although this seems to be an issue tied in to the latest software update and reconfiguration - a trip home in sleep mode via a shop where I priced new laptops that are currently on sale for the end of financial year and it is now co-operating again. However, as I've already had it long enough to replace the battery, it's probably time to acknowledge that the Writing Is On The Wall.
Is it reasonable for me to consider running a series of prompt calls with the aim of raising money to help pay for a new laptop so I can get one a bit sooner? I worry that I'd be asking people who are worse off than me to help me buy something that they can't afford for themselves.
Possibly I am overthinking things if I'm providing what people pay for up front...
