It is a really nice feeling, being able to not just fix whatever's making Firefox laggy and other software issues, but to also be able to open up the computer, look at what's inside, adjust, and put it back together again. I may end up opening it again and use epoxy on the power jack as I held it together with Elmer's before (thinking it wouldn't actually work anyway).

Bought Owen a signed/sketched-in copy of the new Dr. McNinja collection this morning, as I've saved myself almost $300 and can afford it. I'd say 90% of my Christmas shopping is done now, halleluja!
