out of curiosity, what is your laptop's screen doing? is it just not working or is it acting strange? I ask because my Dell laptop's monitor is acting up on me right now and i'm wondering if this is a common occurence amongst that particular model.

it's fine. that isn't the problem. they're coming to fix the motherboard.

i had the monitor replaced last week or so, but not because it did anything weird, but because I scratched the shit out of it on accident.

blech, that could be a long, drawn out issue. I had to send mine back twice to get the motherboard fixed, both time they just replaced it. spent about 2 1/2 weeks without my "baby". now the monitor occasionally blinks itself into a mode i could only describe as something similar to a film negative, though not quite. probably something wrong with the video card or with where the monitor connects to it. i'm waiting for it to get bad enough that i can no longer stand it before sending it in again. sure wish i had a dell repair center in the area. ah well...

Somebody's at my house right now upstairs fixing my laptop.

Yay for CompleteCare.

sometimes i wish something on my dell would break just so someone could come out to my house and fix it.
but then i realize that the computer wouldn't work, so i dont want it to break anymore.

U must be a very lonely person... :P

dangit ive been found out!
why do you think i have 'emo' listed as one of my interests? ;]

Are you going to be at dante's tonight? If so, I've got a congratulatory drink with your name on it.
