As I wrote earlier, my brand-new laptop broke down and I was determined to have it repaired. Earlier I located Dell‘s address on internet and cause I knew that it is the vicinity of Toronto, I wanted to go there. In an information center I was given instructions for my way, I heaved my backpack on my shoulder end trotted to the subway station. Many claim that it is dangerous to travel by subway in big cities, cause just scum uses it, everyone else has a car. Another prejudice I want to state as a lie - people on subway were normal, calm and behaved with courtesy, even trains were clean. The Toronto subway could be compared to any Subway in Vienna or Berlin. Later I took a bus and I had an ultimate chance to see the outskirt of the city - suburbs full of condonimiums, looking exactly the same as some parts of big cities in Slovakia. Who says that those comunistic relic looks scary, - shoe the goose!. They have the same in the north America and nobody complains. After a long travel by bus I finally found the Dell headquarters. Of course that nobody was there, but at least I found it and I knew how to get there on Monday. Rest of the day I spent in an internet coffee, endeavouring to find a solution for my laptop trouble and later I went back to the station where I planned my next trip. I realized that if I go to Niagara Fallls on Sunday, go to Dell on Monday, there is no train to Halifax going on Tuesday which meant that I had to wait another day till Wednesday. I did not want to continue without a proper-working laptop and I decided to have it repaired in Futureshop. A guy at the desk assured me that for 100 bucks they will completely reinstall my operation system and put there all necessary drivers. I put up with it- OK, whatever, I need to have it working, so I paid the money and left my laptop there, supposing I can pick it up on Sunday when I return from Niagara Falls. Yet, when I came there on Sunday evening it was closed and on Monday I found out that they did not repair it at all. I was so pissed off, I had to cancell my trip and go to Dell to see this stupid thing through to the end, but that is another story which I put here very soon.

Let's fix my Dell
