Laptop Withdrawel

It has been five days since I have been separated with my beloved laptop and I think I am starting to feel the effects. I lent my laptop to my brother in law for a business trip he went on and when he returned it to me the hinge was broken. I brought it to Best Buy because I have an extended warranty, but they told me it will take 2-4 weeks to repair. (Although I find that hard to believe it takes that long). In any case, I feel like I am missing a limb without my laptop. Sitting at a desktop to do casual things like surfing the Internet is too stiff and not relaxing for me. I like being able to lie on my bed or sit on the couch or at the kitchen table or in my car or ANYWHERE while on the computer. I think I need to find a laptops anonymous...

On another note for computer savvy people out there, hang out at the Geek Squad counter at Best Buy. Best Buy charges an arm and a leg to do the most basic computer diagnostic test that a second grader can do. There was a girl there who plopped down almost $200 for the Geek Squad to back up her hard drive and install an anti virus program. Then there was a women who wanted to bring in her laptop so they could run the Windows and anti Virus Updates (about a hundred bucks!). I thought of a new business I can open; I will stand by the Geek Squad counter and talk to the customers and offer to run their anti virus and Windows updates for 1/2 the price. People are really DUMB!!!
