Oh, great

My laptop, which is six years old, isn't in the best of shape. This week, the hinges gave out. I called a guy my dad recommended to find out how much it would cost to repair the problem, figuring it would be between sixty and eighty bucks. I was in for a shock. $150 for labor, and $75 to replace each hinge.

Three. Hundred. Bucks.

On a six-year-old laptop? I don't fucking think so. I guess I'll be leaving it propped open against the wall for the time being, until I can find an inexpensive replacement. Any suggestions on quick home-fixes?
