Where to get replacement logic boards?

Yes, $575 is the all in price. I'm realizing that's not too bad considering the nonavailability of spare parts. Ebay is about my only option to replace my 8gb version.

Where to get replacement logic boards?

Hello all, My 2013 MacBook Air suffered a logic board failure today. Authorized repair shop needs $575 to replace it. Does anyone have recommendations on where online to purchase the part so I can replace it myself? I'd need the i5 8gb version. Cheers, Swanny

Asus Transformer -- DOA/Please Help

Car runs great, but looks bad

I'd wait till you get a job with which you can afford a nicer car. On the other hand, image matters in a lot of jobs, and driving a poorly kept-up car doesn't help.

Walmart explores Ethanol Fuel Sales

I'm not sure it will matter much. Not many cars can use E85. Now, if they started pushing 89 octane gas with ethanol, that might help.

excel vs. whole new program

You should be able to find a free program that will do something like that. For one, you could download Palm Desktop. It's meant to work with a Palm handheld, but it's free and you don't have to sync with a handheld. It's good for schedules, to-dos, and contacts.

ANTEC Power Supplies: Your opinion?
