The computer is 3 years old, it's a Toshiba laptop, I paid $1,100 for it at the time. It's going to cost about $250 to get fixed. I have thought about buying a new one for around $600, but the only thing I used it for is to surf internet, manage finance, and to watch races, it suits me just fine for that, for the difference in price I would rather get it fixed.

It's driving me nuts, because I can't follow any racing that's going on other than what I read on here, most of the other sites are blocked at work.

I have heard that Toshiba's are excellent laptops, too. I'd love to get one of those and get rid of my stupid HP.

It's nice, when the guy came to setup my wireless connection, he was really impressed with the computer, he told me he asked me where I bought it, because he wanted one...Like I said it suits me fine, I don't do much with it...
