My kids are pretty good for the most part. But occasionally one of them loses their mind and you wonder “What were you thinking??” Well, up until now they have pretty good around my gadgets, until…
What the heck is that you say??? That is the screen on my netbook. Here’s the story:
She was an adorable little 8.9″ Netbook going on 1 year old. Yes… I sometimes think about upgrading her since there are newer models out with 11.6 inch screens, more RAM and bigger hard drives. But I have a huge crush on Pinky because after all… she’s pink! And the larger don’t yet come in pink (so I will have to settle for red).
But this day… something horrible happened. I decided to trust my boys with playing games on it. Jayden was great. He played like a big boy, then… Destructo arrived (aka Kristopher) . He was ok at first, until he was left alone with her. I came back up and didn’t pay too much attention, then I turned around and saw him sitting in front of it holding what best be called a toy bat, and then I looked at Pinky. See the pic to see what I found. Below is what she used to look like. I hit Ebay asap to look up replacement screens, first the prices shocked me… well actually I expected what I saw which was ~$160. But I think I will go with the Taiwan special and replace it myself. then decide her fate. Kids… sigh…
In her heyday. Wasn’t she beautiful?
