    hey there! Yes, I watch that show all the time!!! My husband tells me stories about being on a carrier, his bed was right below the flight deck, so when the planes would take off and land he thought they were coming through the ceiling (the floor...) Lets just say he a moderately sound sleeper!!! So sorry to hear about your lap top, that really is crazy! Hope all is well other then that!
