Seriously, I tend to buy my own way most places. Unfortunately, this time lady luck decided to abandon me at a rather inconvenient time. My financial resources (yes, I have a job) were busy fixing other things. As such, my dead laptop will basically mean that I would not have had access to a hacking laptop for roughly 2-3 months. This would be ok except for the fact that several of us have been having mini hackathons on a weekly basis, and I'd like to keep going to them (and being more productive than a pop/food server).
