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.



BFD, my daughter poured cokeacola on hers, three years old, burnt it 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.

Perfect Harry has never spilled anything!

Oh, come on...laptop accidents happen frequently. It isn't likely the
kid learned anything worthwhile from her incompetent dad.


Yeah, well better than your kids who only learned how to run from daddy
when he was drunk... Yeah, we all remember you crying here how your kids
abandoned you as soon as they could. Your words, not mine.


Just another fantasy. I never made any such posts and I don't drink
enough to count and never did. My yearly alcoholic consumption consists
of a six pack of beer and two or three "girlie" tequila or rum drinks in
the summer.

I'm sure you are quoting one of the many harry clones here in...probably
you.

But none of this has anything to do with your inability to get and hold
a decent job.

Girly drinks. Figures from a coward like you.

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

Far be it from me to stick up for iSnotty, but, really, his kid had a

it had anything to do with being "careful." **** happens.

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

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.
