... and better!

So, Monday morning was lousy, and stretched into the afternoon with crap piled on crap.

About 5:00, I get an email. My college loan refunds have hit my account. You know what that means...

SHOPPING!!!

I went and picked up a new laptop. I know, I've been whining for weeks. I was all settled on these Acer Timeline super-slim laptops, but they come with a really poor processorn and no optical drive. Also, my last one was an Acer... maybe I don't trust them so much. So instead I get an Asus. This Asus:

What's nice is that it comes with a dual core processor and DVD-ROM drive, for only a few dollars and maybe a half pound of weight more than the Acer, with similar battery life.

Also, I got my birthday present a little early...
