…because my ancient laptop, through an unfortunate misadventure involving a Senegalese circus troupe, now has a cracked LCD.
My plan is to spend the rest of the weekend obsessing over whether I should try and fix this thing myself, or just give up and buy a new machine.

Please, for the love of Steve Jobs, fix the poor laptop!
Time for a MacBook. Just do it.
fix it. ebay has an amazing selection of used replacement parts for old laptops. it’s often pretty easy to swap them out.
How old is it? I guess it isn’t covered by warantee. There are many companies out there that will replace the screen.
Teaches you to not hang out with circus troops.
Try to fix it, buy replacement screen, replace screen, discover it doesn’t work and some of your keys feel funny, take it apart again, find a busted wire, fix busted wire. Now that your laptop won’t even power on throw it out and buy a new one.
