my laptop has become an animal. it is actually yelping now when i turn it on. if it weren't a computer, i would actually think it was...ummmm, cute. as a matter of fact when i opened it up at school everyone looked around with this smile on their faces like, "aww, where's the puppy". however, i am quite disturbed as my 1 yr. warranty ran out like 2 months ago. i'll have to take her in tomorrow. is this a sign that i don't need to be trying to transition to CAD??? grrrrrrrreat.
