[Prudence]

My stupid laptop is non-functional again. It was working fine at 2:30. Then at 5:30 - starts up, see Dell screen, see Windows XP screen, then blackness. Apparently it works fine if hooked up to an external monitor, so they're ordering a new LCD. I don't understand how the LCD can be broken if I still see the start up screens.

Oh well. I guess I should be glad that I'm still under warranty for a whopping 46 more days, so I can hopefully have it fixed by the school tech people on Friday, assuming the part arrives, and not have to ship it off to Dell for the next several months.

Stupid laptop. This is probably a sign that I need a new one, but I was hoping to wait until December.
