The death of my 4-year old friend

I can't believe I am writing a sad note instead of my first Happy Memories post. I am currently typing all these in my iPod touch and I find it hard and uncomfortable. So here's what happened...

I woke up early and went straight to my laptop to create the first post for my meme. I turned it on and was surprised that I didn't hear a beep (you know,the BIOS thingy). I restarted it twice but nothing happened. I just received the blue light signaling it was on, but the screen is black and blank.

We went to three different repair centers and they said the problem is the motherboard, which will cost me like 3500 bucks. I think that's a lot of money because my laptop is actually kind of ancient. It's the kind that doesn't have a built-in cam, with an old processor and low memory. But it works for me and I LOVED it.

I bought it four years ago, during my last year in the University. It helped me with my thesis. I used it for sending my applications for my first job. It was my only "appliance" when I first left home and decided I want to be independent. So you see, I have this extreme attachment to it. You might think that I am just being melodramatic, but I feel like I've lost a friend today.
