i think i love my laptop

My laptop is a Gateway ______. I really have no idea what model it is...or if Gateway even has different models. I assume they do. Anyway, it is about 6 years old (I've had it since freshman year of college). The hard drive has been replaced at least once...maybe twice. I'm not really sure. Despite being so old, it is pretty fast and it does everything I need it to...wireless Internet, microsoft word and excel. It even has all the songs I downloaded to itunes in 2003 and pictures from 2002. My laptop rarely stays on my desk in my office. Instead, it tend to spend alot of time on my kitchen table and on the floor of living room.

About two months ago I was walking in the dark in my cycling shoes and I accidentally stepped on the my laptop. I smashed the pixels in the screen and now I have this dark cycling shoe print on the right side of my screen. Unfortunately It has grown since the incident and covers about 3 square inches of my screen. It is annoying to say the least. I could buy a new screen, but is it really worth it? I think I will have to get a new laptop very soon. I am excited for a new laptop...not so excited to shell out the cash.
