you guys just wait until something in your laptop breaks besides the keyboard, ram, cdd or hdd and stuff like that, it's impossible to fix yourself and it'll cost you $500 to get repaired.

I live in the northeast, you can't sit on the ground here or your butt will get wet and bugs will crawl all over you.
