That purple gunk? That's on the inside of the screen...it's really concentrated in the lower right hand corner.
Not only is the monitor screwed and jumping, certain letters will only work if you hit the shift key. I thought plugging in an external keyboard would work but it turns out the issues that the letters are having isn't so much a keyboard problem as it is an internal issue.
For the love of (&@*^&*#&)(&*@()*#$(@*# I hope between our two external hard drives I'll be able to back up my entire system before it goes buh bye.
Do I even need to mention that this is THE SECOND LAPTOP MY HUSBAND HAS MURDERED IN THE PAST 9 YEARS? The first one met an untimely death when it wasn't able to hold up against a spilled bottle of Sprecher Rootbeer.
To my credit, I stayed really calm this time around. I didn't yell, scream or even swear. I guess he gets to live.
Added: Yes, it was on the floor. It is always on the floor on my side of the couch. Never has been a problem before.

Oh wow, that totally sucks!! How did he step on it - I mean, was it on the floor?
I guess my question is.... why was it under his feet?
Oh, man, that purple goo is gross. Hope that you get it (or more likely, its replacement) back soon!
I'm glad he gets to live, because I hear they don't allow rotary cutters in jail! Stay calm....breath in...breath out! Now....isn't that better? No? Ok...just kick him in the shins! Hang in there!
He's done it twice now? What happens when he gets three strikes? That screen looks awful. Good thing it didn't leak out onto a quilt. Now that would be a tragedy!
Men can really be klutzes. However, I've been known to do dumb stuff like that, too, especially of there is a can of paint around!
Good luck! I can't imagine what I'd do if I lost our computer (although I don't have a laptop... right now).
Hope you get it back soon.
Eww, yuck!
