This is great so I had to share.......
Well I have my laptop set up in our family room on a small table. SInce my other machine is having issues right now I am gaming on the laptop. One of our dogs Always sits right beside me on the floor by my chair. The new pair of headphones I got for christmass plugs directly into my sound card(you can probably see where this is going). Well the next thing I know, the dog gets up and the wires are wrapped around her foot. Before I could do anything BAM! it hits the floor with a very loud thud, which scares the dog causing her to start running to the othere side of the house finnaly stopping in the kitchen with my machine still attached around her leg...cover open on its side up against the kitchen cabinets. I survery the scene and I was like well I guess its toast(not exactly what I said at the time but you get the idea). Brought it back to my desk, cross fingers hit power nothing..hmmmmm i say. So I popped the cover and looked for anything loose, gave each screw a turn, replaced cover, once again crossed fingers took a deep breath hit power..OMG It still works at which point I started dying laughing. Well thats my story, proving that laptops sometimes can really Fly!. Hmmm wonder if Dell would want this for one of their testamonials, hehehehehe:)
