Thanks guys. They didn't want me to come to the hospital because there was nothing for me to do (besides be driven crazy by my dad) so I spent last night completely freaking out at home. I talked to her about midnight and they still don't know what's wrong but she was feeling a bit better.

Glad she's feeling better, and I hope the doctors can find out more. My thoughts are with you.

Hope all goes well with your mom.

Frys also has the 1.5 TB Free Agent DESK for $130
FWIW, these are all Seagate products (I've had good success with Seagate). And with where pricing is right now, it doesn't make any sense to buy anything less than 1TB
Let me know how that goes

I went with Best Buy because that's where I was. I asked them to move my iTunes library to the external drive but it looks like they only copied it.

But they did do a cleanup for me and it runs faster. It was embarassing though because the laptop is such a mess, inside and outside. I felt like I brought my underwear drawer in and dumped it out on the counter.

I don't need 1TB, trust me. I'm just trying to get a little more life out of a 5-year old laptop with a 30G hard drive.

I hope they can figure out what happened with your Mom BTD. Hang in there.

BTD, I hope your mom keeps feeling better.

This is exactly why I don't want to take mine anywhere for service! Well, that and I can't afford to right now. I admire your courage for doing it and I'm glad it is running faster now. My laptop is 4 years old and runs S-L-O-W. It is also gargantuan and weighs as much as a small child.

Just finished taxes.

Suddenly buying a much needed replacement for CP's '94 Maxima doesn't look so daunting.

I'd prefer to not be getting back as much as we're getting, I'd rather have had that money earning interest for me, but it beats owing a ton, which is what's happened the last several years as our withholding was out of whack.

Good thing she's feeling better. I hope they can figure out what's going on.

Odds are that the small additional amount in each check would be spent and not saved.

Also, with savings account interest rates at about .5-.75% and MMA's at around 1%, there isn't a lot of interest to be earned.

I would rather get a lump sum check, but I'm weird that way.

BTD, I hope they figure out what is going on with your Mom and that she comes home soon - feeling better.
