My laptop is down. MEDIC!!!

hardware issue with the case and screen... but it's what I use! I need it! Compensating Controls is done. Proving Ground (short story) is done... working on the other projects still and now my laptop is down! There's just something about working on "that" laptop that gets the juices flowing... don't know what I'll do until I can get it fixed!
