For those of you following my Twitter updates you will know that I have been experiencing a lot of problems with my Acer laptop lately. Not only did the screen need serious persuasion to display an image, the laptop also overheated and crashed within an hour of turning it on. The overheating got so bad that it was necessary to regularly cool it down. When I was playing tournaments the fastest way of doing this was to put the computer in the fridge:

On one particularly frustrating day I over-persuaded my laptop screen which resulted in a work of modern art:

Needless to say I was happy that my new Mac was on its way when the above incident took place. However it turned out that busting up the screen of my Acer was a blessing in disguise. Now it does not overheat anymore. I can even connect it to an external monitor and use it as a stationary computer when playing poker tournaments on poker networks that do not support Mac.
I do not recommend over-persuasion as a means of fixing laptops, but it my case it turned out great.

I think I have an old clam shell mac laptop I could loan you maybe? Sometimes I like to line up all of my old mac laptops in chronological order, every now and then I can come up with a real reason to have them all running. Talking to the wrong guy now though, the last time the Mac store saw me I was humping the box to my new gateway monitor in their store entrance. I think this story is well documented too.

I have a wide screen toshiba, quite happy with it. I have an older dell notebook, and this is going to belong to my 2 years old son. Nice retirement for my old dell buddy.
