Norm's World #21
Norm was recently faced with a rather steep tech problem. His beloved iBook's hardrive bit the dust. It wasn't a big surprise. This little machine was put through the paces. He even dropped it a couple of times. But now Norm had a situation. Ditch the laptop and buy a used one. Or rely on only one machine. Buying a new Macbook it simply a dream, and completely out of Norm's budget. Replacing the hardrive at the local (45 minutes away) shop would run around $250. At least.
And then Norm realized his other option. The option that always seems to be his only. Fix it himself. And he did it. It sucked. But he did it. And it sucked.

Sweet! Can you fix my DVD player?
Wait, so it's fixed? Kinda hard to tell.
If so, I'm after Pru. I've got lots of things that need fixing/hooked up. For example, my new DVD player that I got for Christmas. Still not hooked up.
Whoa. You fixed a hard drive? And a laptop one to boot? Pretty spiffy Norm! You da man!
I've learned in my laptop owning days that they get very angry when they're dropped. Good work on fixing it though. Very impressive. Haaappy Easter!
If you can just post your mailing address, I'll get my dvd player on route to you for repair!

Norm has never bothered with fixing a DVD player, Pru. You can get them for about $30.
LA, it was a success. Norm was proud. The posted photo shows the moment just before the re-assemble.
Norm appreciates the props, V!
Mish, Norm thinks they're made angry.
Diane, stop buying your DVD players from Pru!!
wow - I love when men can fix things. Its such a wonderful quality.
Ahhh Ffleur, you're making Norm blush!!
Are you speaking in a third party? hahaha
Norm has been known to do this, Amber.
