NOT a good day so far. Although it started out well enough (church), while cooking lunch at home and checking e-mail, I got up from my desk and proceeded to catch the laptop power cable with my foot. Of course, I didn't notice this, and pulled the laptop off the desk and onto the hardwood floor. Now, although the laptop still works (my being able to type this is proof of that) the LCD screen is shot. My friendly local Best Buy tech says the only choice is to replace the LCD to the tune of $600. I tend to think there are ways to fix it, but in the meantime I have it sitting on the desk and hooked up to my old ViewSonic monitor (which I just got back from a friend after he had borrowed it for a while). While I'm glad I didn't lose (A) my CPU and (B) my hard drive, it sucks that I can no longer roam free via WiFi (unless I want to carry around an all-too-heavy CRT monitor). Mwah...
