. . . :?: That's a big question mark . . . it's time almost to find out. After almost five years of faithful service, I finally dropped my precious onto the floor at work. The 9 cell battery/kickstand pack went one way, its retaining tabs broken off, and the NetBook went the other way. I never tried to fire it up because I was looking for the original battery pack . . .

. . . and I didn't really wanna know. :(

I found the original battery pack this morning, determined that HP_Mini's comatose body was intact and tried to fire her up, not good.

I think this is the longest I've ever had anything electronic and not cracked the hood, but she's going on the bench for a final, life saving, operation or she's going to be an organ donor for test fitting an operable twin into a Duo lid . . . maybe so even if the paddles jump start her heart! [}:)] ]'>

Only time will tell, for now I'm already in mourning. :'(

edit: anybody got a link to an inexpensive USB trackball?
