It's spent, do doubt about that. Now the only question s whether I'm willing to spend $70 more dollars on this computer. I mean it's nice enough for being 5-6 years old, but so far it's already cost us $30 for the wireless card and $60 for the hard drive, bring the total to almost $100 dollars, plus countless man hours trying to get the darn thing to work. On top of that, this thing doesn't even move much, so the added cost of the battery is probably outwieghted by the fact that this thing isn't going to be mobile that long. Descisions descisions, what to do?
