Yesterday Daniel spilt a coke on his laptop. He immediately turned it off and took it apart to clean it. After ~6 hours he turned it back on and it didn't work. He was very upset as we dont have the money to fix or replace it. We even checked the prices on ebay for used laptops, finding that functioning ones cost at least 500, but more typically 600-700. I told him God has always taken care of us when we think we won't be able to make ends meet.
Today he took it to the Genius Bar at the apple store, and they weren't able to help him, being unable to open computers there in the store. They gave him a list of approved apple repair places in the area and told him that sending it into apple for repairs would cost a minimum of $700. Daniel even spent several hours trying to swap parts between his laptop and Patrick's old one (which he generously gave us) to no avail as the parts were slightly different.
In desperation we went to google's shopping site and looked for a macbook...and what do we find but a very similar macbook to his for $331. We both just stared blankly for a minute trying to figure out what was wrong with this laptop. It was so cheap because of a $100 mail in rebate and the site was doing a special 10% off of mac products that ended at 10 pm TONIGHT. It was 9:50. I looked at Daniel and asked him "How can this be anything other than God looking out for us?"
THANK YOU!!!
