Remember the keyboard on Eric's laptop? The one that popped the plastic spring ring things on the down arrow key?
We finally took it to a repair shop across the street from my office. They kept warning me, "we may have to replace the entire keyboard." Eric said he wasn't surprised, so I carried on.
They called me back yesterday. $82 for a new keyboard, $99 for labor. How long it will take will depend on how fast they can get the new keyboard from the supplier. Arrgh.
On the bright side, the overhead light in Eric's office is finally fixed. The third electrician we called finally showed up. He diagnosed a place on the wiring where the insulation burned off and caused a short. This is fortunate because if it hadn't shorted out the light, it probably would have caused an electrical fire. He charged us $145 for the repair. A heck of a lot cheaper than replacing the house, I say. :-)
