Alice, my husband may laugh at me and maybe I do have too much scots blood in me but I strip anything electric before it goes out to the curb. I have this big box with tons of power cords, keyboards, USB thingies, etc. It's amazing how many times either I or a friend has needed something and I've saved money digging through my treasure trove of leftover bits and pieces.

I seem to have runs of this. When we moved into this apartment I killed two refridgerators in the space of 10 days. :(

Oh no... Now I'll have to be wary of you... One of my mottos in life is, "Never tick off the little Scottish woman"...

I still can't find my coffee... Tea is not doing it in the morning...

:rofl: I've got a box in my closet that sounds like it's a twin of yours!

Well I'm only half-Scots, Adri on my maternal side, the paternal is Ukranian. :)

Hey Alice we should meet somewhere and see who has the oldest power cord. If anyone needs one for a computer the size of your livingroom that can play solitaire....give me a call! LOL

got a lap top keyboard in there??? I had a bad electronics day yesterday too... My boyfriend decided not to look where he was stepping, trip on something, and spill an entire beer on my lap top keyboard...

Thought lappy was completely dead, but this morning it decided to half work on my one last attempt at it.

Sorry hon, with 4 kids around I've never considered a laptop as being safe in our home LOL. Hope you get yours working again. Did you about kill the bf? LOL

No... I didn't even snip at him... I just quietly sat by myself disassembling it and wiping off the beer spots that he missed. I break stuff all the time, and it usually ends up being his stuff just by fluke so I couldn't really say much... NOW if only this could have happened *after* I'd finished paying for it I wouldn't really care at all.

Im sorry to hear that Joanna. I dont think I would know what to do if I were you. I'd probably go back to sleep or something.

I would suggest looking into a surge protector. Thats odd how things just fail like that.

Good luck and hopefully everything will work out better. Just one of those days.

Thanks dear. I'd have thought it was a surge issue but the only thing that was actually plugged in that failed was the computer and it's monitor and they are on a very good surge protector. The camera and the cell phone were simply sitting as they always do on the top of my computer desk (it's one of those cupboard type ones that you can shut the double doors and it's all tucked away nicely). Probably just time for me to replace some of the aging electronics anyways. Why is it though when your digital camera dies, you're suddenly struck with an incredible urge to take pictures of everything! :confused:

Then probably its one of those days...
