Victoria is not a bright spark

So I got my new Dell laptop delivered on Friday, and managed to F&&&**&ck it up within a day.

I accomplished this amazing feat by getting my SD card (the kind that you put in your digital camera) firmly wedged in the CD slot. I was tired, on autopilot, the slots are really close and stuck it into the wrong slot by accident. Seems like I am not the first one to do it either:

But unlike these people, I can't get it out! Can't even feel where the SD card is now, it's stuck good and tight and not rattling around. And now my laptop won't boot up. So it's all good news from the weekend :(

I'm sure they must make some sorts of ultra-small crowbars for computers, for this very purpose? :) It's all the fault of all those people who invented so many different types of storage. It was so much easier when we only had floppys.

I am not sure I can agree with that. Where would I keep all my illigally downloaded music and videos?
