Ciao beautiful people - have a GREAT weekend!!
Okay - I think I'm done for now - maybe someone's updated. ..... ARGH! Only one person - prepare to be subjected to more surveys (and if you've actually read this far, you rock.... really)
) and found the screen - cheapest I'd seen anywhere, as most shops were quoting 460.00, the few online stores I could find were quoting 375-415 for JUST the LCD, and eBay had it for *drumroll* 315.00. Can't beat that. I also sprung for the cheaper battery (Buy It Now) which pulled it to a grand total of 400.00 - less than what I had budgeted to pay for JUST the screen. Only downside? I'm STILL the winning bidder for the 100.00 battery - 5h10m left and I'm STILLL the high bidder. Bastids! Dammit! Buuuttt.... I figure there is nothing wrong with having TWO laptop batteries, right? That just means that I'll have longer life without the cord (console yourself dear, console yourself). Sooooo......had to ask the seller a shipping related question, and hopefully I should have a screen in another week or so - and FINALLY we will have a personal computer at home again. Yyyaaaayyyy!!!!!
