Sachys: Hard drive died last night. Hopefully afford a new one soon, but until then im kinda stuck. Cant work without the laptop, cant buy new hd without working.

stg83: Thats really unfortunate, hope you're able to get a replacement HDD as soon as possible. In the meantime its good to see you back on GOG so it seems your internet woes are behind you atleast.
Turns out a,place in town does 2nd hand,hds (year guaranteed) from as little as the price of a gog.

Cant reply to PMs on here right now folks - site hates my phone!

Indeed, good to know that you'll be able to get your PC working again with the secondhand HDD. The site also hates my phone as well, making even a single post is quite a hassle.

Hey Dishord, I hope you're doing good and life is treating you well. :)

My phone used to be really fast with the site - UNTIL they "improved it" for mobile use.

My Nexus 7 disagrees.

Its only compatible with iPad then I guess. Surely, it must work fine on some device right, otherwise why would GOG state that they "improved" the interface to make it compatible with all devices. ;)

Aye. A,duplicate of the one that died would still only be 65,quid, but im freelance and have work coming in - but very little money.

My only concern is compatibility - apparently the dead drive was a sata iii (hybrid) - and I dont know if that will affect what I can replace it with.

Googling / researching on my phone isnt helping.

If by improved you mean, lost the ability to notice what exactly has been updated then, sure, it has been improved.

HA! indeed that is what I meant, it broke required features instead of adding more apparently. But don't worry, I hear GOG Galaxy will be fully compatible with all handheld devices. ;)

Yeah, that is to ensure the site functions well even after the Apocalypse. :P

I actually found an episode of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. that was actually sort of funny, I definitely didn't expect that.

Nah, it just needs to be SATA, which newer drives are, and same the RPM or less. Post the laptop model if you want someone to double check. A non-hybrid drive will be less performant, but also cheaper.
