You know, I feel like I have fairly good luck. I have an amazing family, extraordinary friends, and have been blessed with some fantastic opportunities.
However, when it comes to electronics... my luck has run out!
I have had both an Ipod and a digital camera stolen, my next camera was accidentally dropped and destroyed by a child. I have had two computers crash at the worst possible moments, and I cannot get cable because for the past two years Time Warner has refused to acknowledge that my address exists. strange.
It has happened again. Two weeks after the 12 month warranty ran out on my laptop, I am once again left with no computer. I don't know what's wrong. It will turn on, but the screen is black and will not respond to any commands. UGH!!!
No blogging, no facebook, no abc.com before I fall asleep (again, since I can't get cable, I can only watch online TV).
All this doesn't really matter. The problem is I am also in grad school and will now need to do my work at the office. Ugh.
Here's hoping I can take it in and will find out it's only a minor problem. However, considering my past experiences... I am not banking on it.
There is a silver lining to all this- nearly everything is backed up, so I have not lost information. It's just a $$$ loss.
Lesson learned: Next time, splurge and get the extended warranty. :)

Honey, I'm sorry. But I'm SO glad to hear you have your info backed up. Most people have to learn that lesson the painful, hard way.
First of all, who was that child that broke your camera. Lets talk about THAT #1. #2 I do feel that for the most part you have a charmed life, however I must admit it sounds like these electronics are just not giving you the Karyn Mann charm! I'm sorry to hear about your computer, and I kind of want to call the cable company and tell them that I have been to your apartment, and YES it does indeed exist. Maybe your computer just got the flu and will feel better in a few days. Here's hoping. GOOD FOR YOU for backing everything up though in case the disease is fatal. Some photos you can't ever get back. Miss you!
Time to buy a mac girl. I can hardly even look at that smashed up PC without feeling bad for you
I weep for you friend. That happened to me right during grad school as well. I think the same exact problem. It was my screen and they had to replace it. After that she ran beautifully. But we are not talking about me we are focused on you. Again with the weeping for you and the hoping everything ends up ok. Bless you.
That is awful. I am glad you have your information backed up.
