I hate fixing other people’s computers. They become yours.<\/p>\n
I even have the Think Geek shirt and sticker that says: “I will not fix your computer”.<\/p>\n
However, one of my favorite people at my school called yesterday morning with a note of desperation in her voice — her notebook wasn’t working. I suspected, but didn’t say, that there was something wrong with the power supply.<\/p>\n
She brought it by this morning, I plugged it into the wall and we had green lights, then we didn’t, then we did. I noticed that there was a little bit of a notch in the wire near the brick, and sure enough that is the culprit.<\/p>\n
Even better news, it will get shipped next day air and she won’t have to pay for it (but as she pointed out, built into the price). However, it was $62.00 plus tax, and while Office Depot had a couple that might have worked, the cheapest was $80.00<\/p>\n
Not bad.<\/p>\n
Except I’ll have to fix it again someday.<\/p>\n
But we did have a nice visit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
