badninjaHelpful Catie update:
*Laptop keyboard and internet's card are not working out
*Dell is broken in a way that nobody wants to risk even touching it
*Old standby laptop only runs for five minutes before shutdown due to overheat
*Old Desktop really hates working
*Tablet's power cord broke
*Sidekick has no active phone plan so it is just a thing
I am starting to suspect their house has some sort of force field that kills any electronics that get in it. It really would explain so many things.
That covers short term ideas.
BUT!
A helpful soul* has helpfully and temporarily lent a netbook. With that, unless the monitor kicks out or the keyboard has any surprises then it will work. Its an HP Mini bought in March and then never ever used. So I think that has an okay chance? It has water damage...
If that works then they have it tomorrow. Otherwise I guess we will still have to see.
*i automatically typed that in as Soul. i am just a little ashamed.

Man there is a Xmen character who ruins all electronics around her because her powers are lightning based so she sucks the energy out of any tech around.

Except keep it away from Draco when they're on Earth. Because he's encountered the Home Shopping Network.
