[wplug] (OT) Laptop Durability

[Rick Harris]

Let's see...  

1.  Dead display. Replaced screen.
2.  Dead computer.  Replaced motherboard.
3.  Dead fan.  Replaced.
4.  Dead keyboard port.  Replaced motherboard again.
5.  Floating mouse.  Replaced keyboard/stick.

I currently have a repeat of #5, so I need to call
again.  I don't even use the stick and it's broken
again somehow.

At least I haven't lost the hard drive!
