Congrats! I finally broke down and bought myself a Toshiba Satellite laptop a couple months ago, and absolutely love it. Dave uses the desk top all the time and I could never get to it, so I carried out my "threat" to buy a puter of my own. Isn't great not be tied to one room of the house, or even IN the house for that matter? I've been able to keep up with S2K much better now that I've got my own wheels. Dave is so jealous!
:lol: :cheesy:
