realsorienAnd the laptop is effectively dead. The power supply isn't charging, and its likely a connection inside the laptop casing itself that's the problem. Which means it IS repairable... IF I'm willing to dump another $300 into it. And I'm not. I'm going to try to get it repaired anyway, via friends, but this pretty much means I'm getting a new laptop.
Honestly... I don't want to. I LIKE the one i have, despite its problems. At 5 years old, it did everything I wanted it to do other than gaming... And I really didn't need to have it for games. But, 5 years plus is OLD for a laptop.
So I'm in the market, and I think I may be getting it before the weekend. (sigh) I know I was considering it before, but its necessary now. I do ALL my writing and such on the laptop. Everything. So I kinda need it. I'm hoping![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
joshuwain's machine can charge my battery so I can at least strip the beast.
With luck, the folks might kick in some, but I can't hope for that- they got hit hard by the financial disasters.
What sucks more is that I just started writing a short story with my Traveller character Deyn, and was 9 pages in. :P
