Computers of the Modern Age

So...

They say that computers of the modern age, specifically laptops, are supposed to be so tricky to understand and fix, that you need people who are educated in nothing but computers in order to fix things for you.

Well...according me, not necessarily.  You see, I've had problems with the clicker on my laptop mouse for about two, maybe two and a half years now, and today, when my center click failed and I had no way to work on my computer, I decided to do something about it.

I took it apart and examined it.  Well, how about that?  The inner workings were merely gummed up a bit...looked like some crumbs had gotten in there.  Proabably from my freshman year of college when I was at WVU and had an addiction to jalapeno flavored Pringles.  So, I pulled out some cleaner and a paper clip (for those pesky small places), and within fifteen minutes...VOILA!  And then, I put it back together again, perfectly.

So there, modern age of computers.  How do you like that?  That's right. I, Elise, have fixed part of my computer.  So maybe it was just a mouse, but after two years of listening to my step-dad tell me that I needed to take it to be fixed, I did it myself!

(And I fixed my center-click, too!)
