So, the laptop's being a d-bag again. DVD drive is behaving like a specter; randomly vanishing and reappearing, of course in the middle of burns or watching movies.
It's got that shiny little extended care plan, so if the fixes the phone support guys tell me to do don't fix it, my lappy's taking another trip to the mothership. Maybe if I'm lucky, UPS will lose it and I can get a shiny new non Gateway piece of shit with the insurance money.
Anyway...just fair warning if I drop off the face of the Earth.
Still have Skynet, but long phone tags are a PITA on that tiny little touch screen. Damn you, Autocorrect indeed.
