HOLY CRAP!

I just bought a new laptop! Specifically, this one. It's far from the highest quality, but has pretty much everything I was looking for. And I got a free photo printer too! Should be here on Monday or Tuesday. That gives me the weekend to clean up the files on my desktop and figure out what I want to keep.

Yipee!!

Nice!

It's gotta be better than the one work gave you. Is that the reasoning behind it? So you don't need to use the craptacular one from work?

Exciting!!!

Thanks!

Uhhh, no. I still have to use my work laptop for work. I bought the laptop for my personal use.

Sweet! That's actually a tiny bit better than my new one - bigger hard drive, anyway. :D

I wasn't as concerned about the HD size, but I'm not complaining about it. =) I was more looking for at least 1G of RAM and the sweet processor and the media package.

*hee* I was looking last night and decided this was the best one. I looked around a bit more this morning, but decided this one was really the best option for me. So, why wait? ;)

Thanks! I AM excited! It'll be nice to be on a computer that doesn't freeze when I'm running more than two programs.

Yeah, that was me, too - I can get software elsewhere (::cough::), and some things don't affect me that much - I just wanted the Duo processor and at least 1GB of RAM so that my computer wouldn't slow to a crawl every time I run Azureus!

Yay! Neato!!

And you are smart to get one before you're stuck with Vista.... it is a very, very different animal. Not as much of an issue for going with a laptop, but if you tried to move any hardware from a desktop to a new Vista desktop, you'd probably find yourself screwed. As much as the kept some stuff at least similar between 95-XP, they shot it all to hell with Vista (example... to get to printers from the Windows Start button, you have to go thru "Sound and Hardware".... wtf???). But, I guess, nice for the current job stability of all the doc we have to re-work for Vista....

Thanks!

Yeah, I just haven't heard well, really, ANY good things about Vista. And I know it'll be all screwed up for the first year or so while they work out the rest of the kinks. I'm happy to stick with XP as it works just fine for me!
