My Laptop Is Sick (Wamp! Wamp!)

Spent part of the day in the bar.  The "Genius Bar" at the Apple Store, that is.  Bottom line, due to someone's tripping on my power cord (not one of the magnetic attachment kind) a few months back (causing a dent on the side of the computer among other thines), the internal power board has crashed.

The "genius" told me I really didn't want Apple to fix it.  It would be nearly $1300 if they did! They gave me the name of somebody local they refer all their menial repairs to.  Guess we'll be going to the "clinic" for a laptop labotomy tomorrow.  Should be a fraction of what Apple would cost.  Sure hope so.  I'd like to get another year out of it at least.
