Mine is getting buggy too. It's doing a weird rainbow-shut off-restart thing but it's been doing that from the very beginning. I just need some money to get a new one.

Gmail hasn't failed me, where others have, although tbf Hotmail didn't fail me so much as get weird with all the spam emails. I've almost completely switched to Gmail for all my email needs now. I still have the Yahoo and Hotmail accounts but for minimal use.

Maybe you could get 'Coding for Dummies' or something like that and just read up a bit. I wouldn't worry about making a good impression so much as not doing a bad job. Screwing up is what will get you fired, not floating under the radar. That's just my opinion though. Maybe you can ask a supervisor what they think of your performance so far, in an Off-the-record sort of way.

Good luck!
