i guess the main reason that i need one is that my keyboard is starting to fall apart. the "-" on my keyboard has become detached. its actually been like this for maybe a week and has happened before. last time this happened, i used some generic crazy glue to stick it back to the mechanism that makes the keys so springy. this time, that didnt work so well and i tried to glue another part, but that didnt work. maybe i can get another key from the apple store to replace the broken one. but i guess the real way that i know that i need to replace it is that my computer will turn 4 this summer, which is pretty old. its also been crashing a lot recently (mostly due to eudora). apple has also been introducing tons of new products that dont really work with my computer since the operating system is out of date. now they are selling music too. not that i would buy any, but i cant even run the program that they use to put it on your computer. sure i have i-tunes, but i dont have os-x! d'oh! and i cant afford a new computer right now (damn those mets tix). plus, i just plopped money down on a cd-r drive and firewire card...sigh. okay, shower time.

oh, almost forgot...the battery on my laptop doesnt work either. so its essentially a slow desktop with a missing key.
