I got my laptop back! I bought this bad boy in January and already the "system board" (its in quotes because I don't know what it is but it sounds very important) was busted, so now its all good again. I sent it in on thursday, and one of my friends asked me when I thought I'd get it back. I told him I figured it would be back by Tuesday, and he said "isn't that a bit optimistic?" I told him that there's no reason why I shouldn't be optimistic, and guess what? It came on Tuesday! So to my friend, have a little faith in something, anything, and you never know what will happen, you might be pleasantly surprised...
