Kevin even took the time to say a few words about my unfortunate experience. It was a sad day, sure, but there is a happy ending. After browsing the Internet and making some phone calls, I was able to find a donor PC on the Black Market. With the particular source that I found, it might have been a case of one laptop tricking another laptop into drinking something, and hours later waking up in a bathtub full of ice…but either way it has a matching blood type (chipset). After some emergency open-heart surgery (processor swapping) and ingesting a few Tylenol to bring down the fever (putting the heat sink back in place) my computer was back on it’s rubber padded feet displaying photos just as planned. Right when you thought all was lost, all was saved and everyone is happy again.
