Have you ever had a day or even a week where things just seem to go Palooey? My whole month seemed to be that way.
First my lap-top died. We gave it to a computer repair guy, and he said it would cost about as much to fix as it would to get a new one (we're not talking about an end-of-the-line quality computer here).
Then my video projector died. We only got about 20 uses out of it, but of course it is out of warranty, and the company charges a minimum of 300.00 to fix any little thing (more if it's something major).
After that my internet computer started crashing. It is working right now, but I'm not sure how long this will last.
And then my nice flat panel monitor for my "good" computer suddenly gave up the ghost.
It's one thing when electronic equipment breaks down one piece at a time over many months, but when they all get together and decide to have a major collapse all at once, it is enough to drive you up the wall.
