BTW, I started having problems with my laptop a few weeks ago. It slid off a counter and I caught it with my foot just before it hit the floor. Its edge actually smacked my shin pretty good and gave me a nasty cut. I'd have mentioned it here, but I was a little concerned about the flak I'd catch if you guys found out that I'd cut my leg by dropping something on it. *AHEM* Nemo come home! All is forgiven!
`
In the days that followed, my laptop abruptly shut down several times.
Each time, I found that the battery wasn't properly secured and had started falling out. It turns out that the battery has a very small nub on it that was cracked.
`
I didn't want to buy a new battery ($20) so I put the battery in and then duct taped over the side that was broken. It won't fall out again. Then I started having problems with system performance. I did a disk analysis and found damage.
`
I did numerous repairs and reinstalls and finally got the system to where it was working well. Until this morning, that is...
`
*sigh* Are computers really worth it? Sometimes I think not.
