That Piers's power cord went dead again. Yeap. Except this time, the thing just stopped working in the sense that it would not build a charge. It'd sustain one, but not actually charge the lappy. Boo.

Luckily that one's under warranty, so I shipped it on Monday. It got to the place today and I'll hopefully have it back next Monday or so.

And before anyone says "motherboard", I'm convinced it's the power cord, not the motherboard. See, it'd have to be bent a certain way to work, and now the bending trick has ceased function, so yeah. Pie.

In the meantime, I'm living off of the old laptop (my mom's) and the basement compy. There are problems with both, mainly speed and wi-fi reliability (compy). But it's better than nothing.
