To make a long story short, it seems the laptop is suffering from motherboard malfunction, and we will have to buy a new one--if we do, it will be from eBay, where they only cost $150-$400, instead of the $500 Dell is asking for. Maybe we'll get a tax refund this year.

In the meantime, any Internet we get will be borrowed and breif.
