Many moons ago, I blogged about the awesome laptops that we bought shortly before moving to the Rock. They had everything that we were looking for and they were cheap and they were, we thought, perfect.

Until they died. Horrible, horrible deaths.

In the case of mine, the motherboard simply melted. Done. I came home one day and it was just dead. That sucked. Especially since it happened 4 days after the warranty expired.

And then, about a month ago, Kurt's started making a funny noise so he decided to jump the gun and order a new one and sell the HP before it died too. The saddest part of the story? The night that the new laptop arrived, the old one died. Done. Just like mine.

So yeah...we've moved on to a Dell for me and a Gateway for him. Second time is a charm, right?
