I did it! I finally broke down due to an unexpected windfall 75% to bills 25% for me as a treat, I bought a laptop!

100.jpg

Inspiron 1525
Intel® Pentium® Dual Core T2390 (1.86GHz/533Mhz FSB/1MB cache)
Operating System Genuine Windows Vista® Business Bonus XP3VBME
(so I can use XP rather than Vista)
System Color Ruby Red RED
Memory 4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz 4G2D
LCD Panel Glossy, widescreen 15.4 inch display (1280x800) 15XGAT
Video Card Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 INTAC
Hard Drive Size: 250GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM) 250GB
Network Integrated 10/100 Network Card INTNIC
Modem Integrated Modem I56NM
Adobe Software Adobe® Acrobat® Reader 9.0 ADOBER
Combo or DVD+RW Drive CD / DVD Writer (DVD+/-RW Drive) 8XDVDRW
Sound Card High Definition Audio 2.0 IS
Wireless Networking Cards Dell Wireless 1395 802.11g Mini-Card DW1395
Camera Integrated 2.0M Pixel Webcam DCAMERA
Battery Options 6 cell battery 6BAT

I'm so excited, this is my first laptop and my first PC since 2000. I can finally retire the old Dell 8200 (which is still chugging along).

My inner geek is very happy right now. I know, it's not a Macbook pro, (nor is it a hand built masterpiece from the Nuclear Muffin Test Kitchen) but this will last me quite a while and it was $800 thanks to the employee discount we get through the firm. And, it's RED!

Congrats on the laptop. I love my little Acer and it works does nicely for what i need it to do. Loving the fact i can sit and lay on the couch and type rather than at a desk like previously.

I would have never managed without it for this last tour for tickets and to upload all my pics and video from one night before the second night's show.

Snowflake thanks for the mojo comment.

I love sharing my tour stories and everything.

This laptop wouldn't have made last tour as easily accessible in things i needed prior to not having a laptop.

Now if only i can actually meet Jon and Richie in person then i would be fullfilled...lol but hey having part of a dream come true can't ask for more...lol

Congrats on the new tech, Snow and Lash!

Soooo....I was reading the local news, and they had a series of photos from a movie that is being filmed here. They had to close a good part of downtown for some stunt scenes, which no doubt pissed a lot of people off, but what I found amusing was all the pictures of cast and crew in Nanuck gear. I shyt thee not- just about every person was wearing heavy duty coats and such. I think our low was about 40 last night, but today it was about 55 or better. What a bunch of pansies.

You should see all the people from Washington that are complaining about "melting" when it's 90 degrees out at Universal.

I think this board is going to be one dull place come November 5.
