Got this note from Ev this morning:

Hi mom, how's it going. I wish i could be writing under happier circumstances, but alas, i broke my laptop. Pretty much the worst thing that could possibly happen over here. It's a king hell bummer. I made two key mistakes: waking up early, and deciding to make my bed. These errors led to a horrible clattering of metal and plastic which turned out to be my computer, my favorite toy ever. ALRIGHT, i've got that off my chest. here's where you come in: You remember before i left back in november i told you that the original box, containing (i hope) the warranty, is in my room. probably somewhere in the far right corner as you're walking in, maybe in the closet. it should not be in another box. The box is pretty distinct looking, it is cow spotted black & white. now that i think about it, it may be in my file cabinet.. or under the bed..

Ok, that's your first job. I've already dropped the computer in the mail for you. once it arrives, it sure would be swell if you would bring it in to best buy to get exchanged. I'm not REALLY sure if the warranty applies in the case of a dropping.. but i believe it does. And if they try to say it doesn't apply because i was out of the country, that's a load of crap, because i specifically asked before i bought it. OK, if they say no go because it was broken, not defective, then forget about it. I'll order up another one from here......... In any case, it is absoulutely critical that i get a new computer, and ASAP. I've got nothing else to do here! i even snapped a guitar string last night :-(

OK, thanks alot, this is all very much appreciated- talk to you later-

Anyone have any experience with this? I haven't started looking for the warranty yet; I think I know where it is. I can't imagine they wouldn't honor it under the circumstances.

LOL

Kids!

Call Best Buy and ask them. Maybe if you let them know it's your son's, who happens to be serving in the military and is overseas, they'll replace it even if the warranty doesn't honor it. If they won't, go to Sears and buy the new one. I know they'll honor it!

Let me know what happens, please!

A Proud Mom's work is never done! Finding a cow box in one of the many places it might be is going to be an interesting task. Good luck, Mom. I'm late for work. Hope to get back at break.
