yeah, ripkin_ there are three others... but it's all the same story. there is more to the story too. this is the second laptop i've had. the first one, i didn't realize that the keyboard was the issue. the tech guys (via my warruntee) decided to replace the motherboard the first time.... this, of course, didn't fix the problem. then, they replaced the optical drive... still, BIOS problems. then, the motherboard again. finally, they gave me a new computer. now, i'm realizing we were all duped. and that first laptop was fine. here i spent lots of cash, and feel like a sucker.
