Sigh:

I took my DVD player into the store today. This was a $60 DVD player, that, when the guy opened it up to take my DVD out, had multiple blown capacitors on both circuit boards. Two had actually blown off the board, and there were other melted ones. They still have to send it away to "have it repaired." Yeah, they are really going to replace two circuit boards on a $60 DVD player rather than just giving me a new one. I believe that.

This means that I get to watch DVDs for the next at least week and a half on either my 14 inch laptop or my 17 inch desktop monitor. This is going to be fun.
