I wrote a blog entry on Friday, but apparently I never hit "post." Or maybe MT just didn't like it. On Thursday night, my laptop - my only computer these days - started smoking near the DC-in jack. I called a few places, and the only place that would give me an estimate on replacing the DC-in on the machine said it would be $150-200. Does this sound like a fair price?

When I took it in yesterday, the guy said, "Its smoking? You should just call support and have them service it." He thought that because it was a fire hazard, they would just replace it, to avoid liability issues. Maybe he didn't want to work on it, but he wouldn't take it until I called support. I haven't called support yet because I'm frustrated with this problem.

I checked out an iBook from the College of Communications, but it is so annoying not to have your own computer. It won't connect to my cable modem, and, of course, I don't have my bookmarks or stored files. The school's computer also has only 128MB of RAM, which has reintroduced me to the joys of a grinding hard drive when the RAM maxes out.
