Merry Christmas to me!<\/p>\n
I just got a new laptop! Yippee! Reduced for quick sale floor model, it has everything I want except for the awful Vista operating system. But I guess I can live with that, especially for the price I got.<\/p>\n
My most important criteria was the keyboard, which meant I was looking primarily at either IBMs or Sonys. They had a deal on one of the VAIO’s I’ve been looking at , so SCORE!<\/p>\n
Right now they’re doing a system restore, then I get to go back out and pick it up, and waste lots more time properly setting up the system, and uninstalling whatever crap comes pre-installed that I neither want nor need.<\/p>\n
So now I can join Michael in geeking out, since he’s spent every day since Christmas playing with his Garmin GPS\/PDA. (Yesterday we drove around after our trip to the post office, just so he could play with the GPS portion.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
