Computer Cord Malfunction

It is usually the small, insignificant seeming things that create big problems. The Discovery space shuttle was blown apart because of a faulty O-ring, my main computer could not make this journey because the plug receiver was loose.

Now I am again almost out of commission: my laptop cord has bitten the dust.

I have been fighting with it for the past two months to an ever worsening condition. I spliced out a section of it in Amman, and it worked fine for a couple of days. But now, in Israel, the cord is completely shot.

If the travelogue entries are a little irregular for a while it is because of this computer cord malfunction. If my laptop cannot get power, it is done for.

I will do another splice job tonight and evaluate my condition from there.
