New baby

The other day I saw an flyer advertising a secondhand computer - which was still under the original manufacturer's warranty. In case anyone's wondering why I've been quiet lately, it's because my old laptop died. I'd been thinking of just buying a new hard drive, then I saw this ad.

Steve said it was really good for the price. Called the advertiser, arranged to go to his house, checked it out. Turned out the guy was selling it because he needed the money, and still has a desktop at home besides.

Long and short of it is, I have an almost new computer with pretty good features (actually that's a review of the Intel version; mine has a AMD Turion 64 X2 processor) for $700. This puppy.

One of the cute things about it is that it has a little remote control that slots into the side of the chassis. I foresee a lot of lying about in bed watching Stargate SG-1 in the near future.
