The water situation seems to be under control for now. It seems that my laptop has decided it doesn’t like being neglected though. Apparently it no longer can pick up a wireless signal. The thing is a lemon, and I will never buy another Toshiba laptop again due to the lemony-lemonness of it. Needing to have the motherboard replaced twice within the first year of ownership is a sign of a design gone horribly wrong. I’m sure the latest problem is also hardware related, but I’m not going to spend any money on getting it solved. For what it’s worth, when we got the motherboard replaced last time, we briefly considered the extended warranty, but decided that it was such a lemon that we’d rather not be constantly getting it repaired “for free.”

It’s a real shame, because our previous Toshiba laptop was really good. High build quality, felt solid, and ran like a tank until it ran into it’s nemesis - the spilled water glass. I don’t know what we’ll do when the lemon finally dies for good. The first laptop was among the cheapest we could find at the time, and the second one was in the same relative range (though cheaper overall, still occupying the same area of laptop pricing) Maybe we’ll have to spend more money to get a better quality laptop next time. It won’t be a mac though - just so you know - nothing against Apple, but I don’t want to tie myself to the prices of Apple laptops, when there are so much less expensive options that have higher build quality than the Apples that I’ve seen.
