Sad...

My laptop is dying. Mind you, Chas had it for a good few years and worked it hard, and THEN gave it to me when he got his new one, and *I* have had it a year or two myself. In the last few days I have had some power problems and the screen has just started to loose color and the background until there is only a small horizontal patch of criss-cross lines in a small section. Chas did a reset of the video card ram which seemed to only help for an hour or so. I will try to use Chas' computer when I can, but my online presence will be reduced until we figure out what to do with my computer. :(

Chas and his old coworker repair tech both think it is the logic board. Might be in the $200-300 range to fix it. Can't do anything yet tip things settle down and we have a better eye on our finances post move.
