I managed to bust the screen on my laptop yesterday. I am still not sure how, but at least it has still got a year on the service contract. I've already gotten my money's worth out of the thing, and never have I been so glad that I bought it.

My cheapo backup laptop that refuses to do more than turn on, turns out it is still under warranty until November even though I didn't buy a service contract with it. It will work when plugged into a monitor though, so I am using it jury-rigged to an old monitor and have plugged in a keyboard and mouse as well, though those aren't necessary. It just makes it easier to use. When I get my Sony back, then I can send in the cheapo one to be fixed. They think it is just a loose wire, which is what I was suspecting.

Anyway, this cobbled together mess is letting me use the internet, though it is slow. It wasn't slow before so I don't know why it is slow now, but it lets me stream. If I want to waste time on the one FB game I play, I have to borrow DH's laptop to do it. They think I should have my laptop back before he leaves again since they will just be swapping out the screen. I hope so.
