    having a little whine

    had friends over in the weekend, and while looking at digi photos on my wife's top of the line toshiba laptop in the weekend, managed to spill a LARGE glass of wine over the keyboard. tried cleaning it, drying it, and although it still booted up, there's no screen coming on.

    took it into AMI, then walked next door to the computer shop for the bad news.

    is getting a new Toshiba Satellite P30, valued at $5000 bad news?

    P4 4.0 gig processor, 1 gig RAM, bluetooth, wireless LAN, 512meg video card etc etc.

    pity i'm not going to be allowed near it.....

    here's one of the pix by the way:

    Shouldn't look at porn when pissed, your free hand tends to shake. Do like the cops, save it for work.

    Ive got a generic computer of similar specs, but I just scored a good 2nd hand laptop off trademe for $400-00, maybe an option?
