I asked to talk to the supervisor, whom I've dealt with before, and he was more than reasonable during my previous visit. But he and his supervisor both cited Fry's policy in denying me a loaner laptop. I thought I should warn you all about this unreasonable policy before you spend money on an extended warranty for equipment you might use for astronomy.

of the LEDs, maybe some taillight repair tape, but don't use enamel.
use something reversible.
