Recently,
wafflelips realized that owning a laptop had switched from being a neat idea to being necessary. After spending a fair amount of time reading reviews and pestering Mr.
woe2you and
king_ghidorah for advice, she decided on the type of gear she wanted. She then sent me out with instructions to purchase the gear while she did homework.
I follow instructions rather well. We're now the proud parents of a lovely little HP notebook. I'm using it right now to update, hitch-hiking on a neighbor's WAN. I'm enjoying myself, but I know that any minute now T will decide she'd rather do her work on the new toy, at which point I'll be booted off.
Still. Yay!

Yes indeed there is. There are at least 2 to choose from in this area; sometimes we can pick up a third. Heh.
