Freakin Technology

So I have had my Acer Laptop since graduation in the summer of 08 and I havent had any problems with it until this semester. its been out of commission for a month because suddenly my charger for it would stop working on and off. So I thought buying a new one would do the trick but oh no after a week it stop charging so I was out of a laptop from labor day up until about a week ago when my grandfather said that he had fixed it. It was going good up until Tuesday mid afternoon when I decide Im going to email my rough draft to my peer edit group and to my teacher and post it on blackboard that it decides to completely crash half way through and die on me and has been off ever since. UGH!!! Talk about a piss off. I simply dont know what to do and over Thanksgiving break Im going to take it back over to my grandpa's so he can have another look at it. but from the looks of things I think I will be getting a new lap top for my birthday
