This weekend I managed to:
* Fix my cellphone with a $20 part from Ebay;
* Perform a cooling system flush on my ‘89 Mustang;
* Install “Ubuntu 7.10″:http://ubuntu.com on our three laptops;
The first one of those was so easy it was freaky, even though Alltel had said that the phone wouldn’t be “cost effective” to fix. Well, stuff it up your ass, Alltel — I took care of it myself.
The second one of those was fairly easy, but it took two hours and got me covered in oil (don’t ask) and antifreeze. Though, it did seem to make my car run a *lot* cooler afterwards.
The third one of those worked fine on everyone else’s laptops — except for mine! 
Well, mine is the oldest and most set in its ways, and here I came along wanting to update its operating system — it’s probably being ornery just to show me that sometimes the latest versions of things aren’t always necessary. Duly noted.

Ah, it is good that you managed to fix your phone.
Although, instead of going that route you could have gotten the new Motorola Razr XFSDFSDF V2 with text/games/graphics/lazer beam/mind-reading for the low price of $100.
Games are an additional $10 a piece!
I swear that they were actually shocked at the Alltel place when I told them that I wanted to fix my old phone.
