Well, they sell cameras, printers, hard drives, software, speakers, headphones, etc. that they don't make....
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Say, like the ones from www.agent18.com?
Is that the solid plastic one? My Apple store has those, as well as a couple other kinds.

Yep, the solid clear plastic one. Hmmm, I guess I'll have to call the local Apple store.

I have one of those, which I did purchase at the Apple store.

So my dvd player, which is only a year old, has stopped working. I put a disk in, and it sits there and thinks and thinks, and then it spits it out. It's a Philips and I paid about $60 for it. Is it worth trying to get it repaired (no I didn't get the warranty, yes I probably should have), or should I just take it to the electronics recycling center and buy a new one to replace it?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I can't imagine a repair will cost much less than $50. I'd just get a new one.
It's sad how disposable these electronic components have become.

It's a crime, really. As an environmentalist, I feel bad -- on the other hand, the recycling center will probably fix it and resell it.

Huh. I had no idea such a thing existed. Probably way cheaper than replacing the unit, too. Thanks, Tom!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
A mere seven bucks, it seems.
