that sucks, man :(
but... you know... that's why I would never buy a powerbook. Cool as they are, you do run a risk when you carry around a $4000 little board.

in situations like this.. if you dropped your PC tower it'd cost 600 bucks to replace the whole dang thing.
neve depend on a laptop as your only computer. it seems so risky.. it could be stolen from your car.. lost.. dropped.. left on the hood of your car as you drive off... overheated in your car on a hot summer day...
it seems like those things are more prone to accidents.
as many times as i drop my phone.. i know a laptop is not for me.
so sorry piper. if i had some money.. i'd give you some :(

ok, c u Deeks.
Yeah, I shouldn't depend on a laptop, but I just like to work on a laptop. Desktops are too big and takes up so much space.
This is turning out to be a bad year for me. Can't live, can't die.

I just got my computer hooked up to my 13" tv, but my resolution is off. Mitsu, can you tell me if there is a short cut to change my sreen resolution?
This has been so stressful, I'm suppose to start a new job next week, but not sure if I can do so.
Mitsu, you've been so great! I'll buy you a case of beer when I fix everything.

yeah I need to get smashed! :(
Ok what do you think I should do. I know that the cost of repair the thing will be over $1300. should I just go out and buy a new computer? Please advise?
I have enough money to get it fixed but not sure what to do.

-Get you mac fixed.I can help with the pc softwares if you need.

buy a new one, sell the other one for parts? A friend of mine sold his powerbook g3 for parts and made over 700 for it...

ok got it to work.
I've thought over it and have decided to only get a monitor for now.
I am feeling much better now and have opt not to throw myself in front of moving traffic.
thanks for all your help and concerns.

Insurance is a good thing. When I bought my laptop two years ago it was a $2200 pc. I insured it, $25 a year. A speaker fell on the screen over the summer and when they realized that it couldn’t just be repaired they cashed me out $1600. Not bad. But until that was settled I was just plugging an old CRT into it and that worked fine.

I will check out PC prices today and see. thanks Loc. I might take your offer. But I think Deeks will help me out with some software.
i might be able to connect my computer to the tv so I can work again.Please pray it will work. This way it'll save me money and I won't have to buy anything new.

Can't you get it insured and then make out you dropped it after you took out the policy?.

save another $1000 and buy yourself something shiny and new.
or go get yrself plastered.
