Spoiled Brat Factor Five, Mr. Sulu.

I sent a grumpy e-mail to my mother, detailing, among other things, my battle with Dell, and my current job situation (without).

Tonight I learn that my computer is still out of commission.

So tonight, just as I'm looking up online places to buy a replacement part other than straight from Dell, and bitching in public forums about the lack of respect from the sales department, my father calls.

He tells me to research the less fragile variety of new laptop computer, as the lifespan on laptop computers is somewhat short, and he comments at what the price range for such a system might be.

(!) is my first reaction, for I'm now on a starving college student budget.

Family. Wow.

...When others around us are alone, the expectation for family to come through decreases, and it's a joy when they actually do.

That's very cool. :)

If you're looking for reliable, I've had good luck with IBM laptops over the years...

IBM laptops are a good bet, then. I've seen them last for years with little-to-no problems.
