I Love My New Laptop
Dell Latitude D820, hot rodded...

I swear, I love this thing so much, I refuse to go anywhere without it. Started buying accessories for it. Got a shoulder bag with the wireless mouse, the USB Numeric keypad, the flash memory, and a color photo printer sits at home.

I am teaching myself C# and .net with Visual Sudio Express.
I am writing a novel on it.
I am writing poetry on it.
I have a business plan for my new bookstore on it.
I use it for digital photography printing.
I have quicken and can actually balance my accounts now.
I use the wireless and bluetooth all the time.

I can fire this sucker up anytime of the day or night, and be productive.

What the hell took me so long to buy one???

2. If I transfer my account to my apartment
My son will no longer be able to play at Freeonlinegames.com, and he would stab me in my sleep...

and what better excuse do I have to show up at the house at any time of the day or night, than to check my email and my DU / MySspace sites?

7. OK, get the new account at your old place
Have you checked about the email address? You might be able to get some sort of linked account - new Internet access at your place - old email address.

11. Go get your carpal tunnel wrist support strap(s) now; I'm completely
addicted to my new laptop, too, and am already showing carpal tunnel symptoms. A word from the (hopefully) wise.
