A $526.50 repair at no cost to me, and machine is out of
warranty...it's
almost four years old.

Basically, I'll have a brand new machine when I get the laptop back
this
week.

I like the ones that don't need repair.

out
good. Sent it out, bot it back a week later, working, clean, and
without
an over inflated RO attached to it or a big heroic story of what the
parts changer replaced...snerk


It's too bad she didn't spill coke on you 18 years ago, and get back a
responsible father.

That isn't a product flaw, that is user negligence. You should teach
your kid some self discipline.




Are you kidding me? She fell next to her desk with a cup of coke in her
frekin' hand. Don't be a dope... And "negligence" would have been if we
didn't buy the extra "everything included" replacement policy knowing we
would be using the thing in the garage, and at the motocross track.

Why? You think pouring coffee and coke into a computer is normal?

Most people lernt o be careful. But then again she is young.

I remember when we got our first office pc...
Only designated people were allowed near it and no one was allowed to
eat, drink or smoke in it's vicinity.

Back then they were union North American made and cost $8000 in old 1980
dollars, which according to the government inflation calculator is $22K
today.

My last laptop, non-union non-USA made dual core with HT, 17" Intel I3
with 4GB RAM and 500GB drive was $549 last spring.

Spilling coffee or pop isn't as bad as it used to be.

Back then was 1982 or 1983 for IBM's first PC, and they weren't anywhere
near $8000 in US or Canadian dollars. They were less than a quarter of
that amount, and only some parts in them were "American-made." Further,
IBM wasn't unionized. In fact, about the only large-scale supplier of
PC's who was unionized back in the early to middle "PC" days was AT&T
and even those boxes were merely assembled from parts made outside the USA.

I bought one of the first IBM PC's sold to consumers in our area, from a
dealer in Northern Virginia.

So, as usual, you are full of crap. Like your shower buddy, iSnotty, you
have no real knowledge of actual history in any area.

Addendum...bought my first IBM PC in 1982, apparently, a few months
after they were introduced in 1981. Paid $1650 in 1982 dollars, not
$8000 or anything near that.

Says $1,565 as list for striped bare. However everything else is extra.
Monitor, software, hard drive storage, second floppy, memory, modem,
printer, even shipping with Canadian pricing it was $8000. Even the
"Basic" and assembler packages cost extra. Even the ST506 hard drive
controller was extra. As was the power supply upgrade if you wanted
hard drives.

So $1,565 is like buying a car without the windshield, seats, steering
wheel and wheels. For Canadians, taxes and duties extra.

So blow it out your ass there harryk fleabagger. The real cost of a
usable system was $8000.
