Well, DARN!
I went to pick up my laptop and it slipped out of my hand and landed on the plugin bending it into a 90 degree angle...DH tried to fix it but when I went to plug it into the computer, it snapped in 1/2. So we are looking for a replacement power cord for my computer and meantime, i'll be using his desktop. Thank God for multiple computers in the house.

My husband drowned mine a few months ago. He dropped into a bucket of water...Don't ask. I found one very cheap on-line. At Best buy they wanted $105.00 for it and I got it for $29.00. Make sure you know what you are looking for. There are many out there.

You should look at safeware computer insurance. It was recommended to me by CNet. It covers everything except data loss. They don't care what happens you can drop it, spill on it, lose or if it gets stolen. My sisters pets damaged two of hers, she told them and they had her send them in, of course this happened at different times, LOL. they couldn't fix them so sent her a check each time enough to cover the equivilent to what she had at what it would cost now.
I have had it for 5 years, cost between 40 and 60 a year. Well worth it and so much cheaper than service warranties you get with Dell or best buy and they don't cover for loss or stolen.
I got it because I use to travel with mine. I was afraid it would get stolen, or I might drop it. Luckily I never had to use it. But boy my sister has got her money out of it. I am surprised they haven't put a rider on hers. LOL

I worry about dropping mine often. I carry it from favorite sitting area to upstairs sewing room at least once a day. I'll look into that insurance.
Not long ago, it was unusual to have a computer at home, now we have enough to have a backup when needed. The times, they are achangin'.
