I was holding my laptop on each side, and when I twiched I twiched upwards.
I do get a few twiches in my left arm, ecspecially when it's been still for a while and I just start moving it.

You'll want to go to the doctor with that, Sam

Would hate for you to have a massive twitch whilst holding your steering wheel :shock:

As for the laptop - that is a pity. If you have an external monitor, or if the laptop has TV-OUT, then you could keep using it by hooking it up to another display, then get your replacement laptop screen later on.

Yeh if you look at the picture you can see I got a VGA cable plugged into it, I usually run split screen anyway so I can go online and watch Iplayer on a seperate screen.
It's not massive, it's more of a shake but I was moving my hand as the same time, didn't even hit it hard, just in a weak spot of the monitor I assume (no flexability).
Doctor said it's nothing to be worried about, happens once in a blue moon, was trying to pour redex down the intake of my sprimmer the other day and I couldnt cause my arm was shuddering and I covered my shoe in the stuff :lol:

Once in a blue moon your arm could twitch and you go head on into a lorry? That sounds like something to worry about to me :?

40 quid? For a new screen? That sounds pretty darn cheap!

Yeh I thought it was pretty reasonable!

My arm was already moving, just changed direction and I hit the screen :lol:

Sam doesn't really want to admit it, but he beat the sh*t out of his laptop after losing at Call of Duty :cheesy:

I've been playing waaaaaaaaay too much Gran Turismo 5 lately

Before that, I was playing waaaaaaaaay too much Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

I'm looking forward to November, when I'll be playing waaaaaaaaay too much Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I have a whole and satisfying life, sitting on my ass :cheesy:
