Didn't I tell you I was afraid to go in my car yesterday? I'm just having bad electronic karma lately.
I was backing into a parking spot when I got hit by this guy making a U turn! Both his front and my rear bumpers are dented. I told him to forget about it - my car is a 96 Celica with its share of dents. Driving in NYC is not good for anybody's car. What's going to happen next? I may just hide in my house for a while and only touch non-electrical stuff. My computer guy told me that worst case scenario, my laptop will need a new motherboard (that always sounded dirty to me), which should cost about $200. Let's see - I already spent $240 to have it fixed and for the adapter - if we add another $200, that'll be $440. Hmmm! For another couple of hundred, I could have bought a whole new computer!!! What do you think of that!

Sorry about your computer and your car. If we only had foresight instead of hindsight, then we wouldn't have problems like this!!!

Spoke to my computer guy. The diagnosis is the motherboard - cost: $275.00 He tried to talk them into doing it for nothing, since they sold him the adpter for me - no way they said. He says it's worth it considering a new one would cost me between $600-700.
Kind of sucks, but I can't get too upset over it. I think my lamp shorting out actually caused the damage. (I didn't tell him that). So - 240 +275 $515.00 What is there to say?
