Computers

I sometimes think that computers try to tick us off. I got my laptop two years ago this coming May. Last June I had to get a new cord for it because the other one wouldn't charge my battery and wouldn't turn on the computer. It cost me sixty dollars.
Now my battery is going out on my laptop. I am sure that it won't be cheap for me to get a new one, but what can I do? It is probably more expensive to buy a new computer and it is sort of hard to get anything done on our desktop. It is still on dial up.
It just makes me wonder what can go wrong for next year? My key board, or maybe the screen will stop working. Yes, you got it, I am ticked off!
