So my faithful little laptop has now died. It's 4 years old and hasn't really been treated all that gently. (my father-in-law just poured his drink in it a couple of weeks ago). I'm faced with the choice of buying new or repairing. It was purchased through the University of Maryland's student program with 4 year on site repair, but .... sigh. I had a post in preparation about free online books, so I'll try to reconstruct that soonest.

Not sure how you feel about Macs, but there should be some good discount prices on several models right now, since new models will be released very soon.
