when is Merc RX over???? [View all]

My stoopid computer is finally crapping out on ALL levels!

First, the battery stopped holding charge, then the cord stops working (and replacements are $150 and $70 respectively) so i borrow a cord from a friend to get by...and now HALF the keyboard refused to work this morning. I thought i'd clean it, but that's not the case, so i had to go get a cheepo USB keyboard to use with my laptop in the meantime. My mom wants to come up and buy me a new computer tomorrow - but now i am worried that the Merc Retro curse will make that one a lemon, too...

any advice?
