    Yes, I got one for um... school... too. Actually, there was one horribly boring class that I took it to regularly, hehe.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    Believe it or not....*I* have one.

    And I have Highspeed internet in my car and through my cellphone.

    Trust me...It's not at all cool.

    I love irony, so I put an Apple logo sticker over the Dell logo of my computer, hehe. I call it my Dapple.

    I need a new laptop, too. The overheating problems with my Toshiba have gone out of control. I'm looking at an HP, but everything comes loaded with f'n Vista. I HATE VISTA. I also can't find out if any of my DJ programs will even run with Vista without crashing. ARGH. Of course this happens right after I pay the house and car payments.

    Sorry. Congrats on your new comp, and have fun at Six Flags!

    I was stoked the first time I got a macbook although I swore before then I hated laptops blah blah.

    Now I'm on my second lol. I wouldn't ever do a desktop again. Who would trade being able to sit on the toilet and read SW at the same time. ( not that I'm doing that right now.)

    I heart my mac.

    Laptops are awesome! I got one last year, RIP poor acer... Welcome new 11' Vaio!

    Oh yeah, the stupid Vista thing... I went to best buy and they told me that XP was pretty much extinct.... But I do know of a little place that still sells XP, and for only $110

    I've had my Dell Inspiron 1100 for years. I'd eventually like to get something newer and lighter.... but it's been good to me all these years

    If you want to get software for cheap, head over to the nearest big university. The often sell discount software to students. Go to the campus, and find a student who's not going to use his or her allotted discount. Have him or her buy the software for you, and pay cash plus a few bucks for the service once the goods are delivered. Here at University of Houston, XP and Office (Professional editions!) can be bought for $21. It might be a bit more pricey at other schools, but it'll still be cheaper than retail price.

    I had a toshiba satellite and it didn't work out well for me. Only lasted about 2 years. But then again I guess everyone's different and maybe they're making them better now. Next laptop I get is going to be a mac book.

    You should be able to order the computer with XP on its, still, from the manufacturer's website. Especially if you don't want all the other goofy things that get added, you might even get the price reduced if you spec it out, yourself.
