Needs A Flush & Fill, Maybe OK, here's how much I love you guys. This afternoon (of course, the Friday afternoon before a 3-day weekend, 15 hours before I leave for a weekend in Toledo and a week's toil in Milwaukee) my laptop starts siezing up. I believe the cooling fan is busted, cuz it works ok for about 5 minutes, then goes all Grandpa Simpson on me. My solution? You see it in the adjacent picture: the little bugger is sitting atop an impromptu sofa of icepacks from the freezer, usually used to nurse our athletic owies. Seems to be working. I excel at high-tech solutions. Tell your friends. Remember that Paul Theroux book called The Mosquito Coast? Where a guy (played by Harrison Ford in a movie version)'s raison d'etre was to construct a mammoth ice machine in the jungle? I need me one of them. 4:55:33 PM    Speak to me! []  TrackBack  []
