Three washes and still smelling it? That's rough.

Oh man, now I'm gonna have to start bringing a mood light instead.

That reminds me of a time I tried to fix my old laptop by looking up error codes online. Found a long string of numbers and letters that seemed important. Spent an hour trying to type them into Google before realizing it was just the serial number on the bottom. My friend who actually knows computers laughed pretty hard at that one. Now I just take it to a shop when something goes wrong.

Old Frank had a point @evanpalmer, my cats won't shut up before a storm.

My buddy tried the same thing last week and ended up with a paperweight too. He found some old Windows 7 laptop at a thrift store and it worked fine with that. Ever tried a virtual machine with an older OS?
