Wellllll……after taking my old Dell laptop into the Emergency Room (AKA the Geek Squad at Best Buy) I am sad to say that I’ve decided to pull the plug. My choices were either to pay $150 to recover what I wanted from my harddrive (a MILLION pics aka memories and a bunch of other stuff) and come home with my own external harddrive that I can use over and over….OR to pay $69.99 just for them to diagnose the problem, and then pay to fix it depending on what’s wrong with it. The estimate was anywhere from $150-$300. And then if they can’t fix it, I’d still need to pay for the $150 for them to recover my data from the hardrive. No. Thank. You. So I’ve decided to just bite the bullet and get a new laptop. And in the meantime I can use the Roommate’s computer. (I haven’t asked her but I’m sure she won’t mind…:-D )
Any recommendations on what kind of ‘puter I should get?!?!
