LAPTOP!!!

Yesterday, I bought my laptop! ^______^ And just now, I got it connected to the internet at home! - Wireless: Woo-to-the-Oot!! XD

It was actually next to a miracle that I got this notebook; it IS the same one I was looking at a week or three ago. And for the same amazing price, too!!

I found out that Best Buy still had the laptop, so after work, I ran over. There they informed me that they were all out!!! BUT! There was still hope: two stores in the Metroplex still had the comps, and I was equally distanced from both. So I hurried to the one I know best, and got there in about 20 minutes. I asked the rep, "I came all the way from [Hometown] to get this compy! They said you still have it!" 

"Did they...?" the rep replied. "Because actually...... We just sold the last one about 20 minutes ago."

"NOOOOOOO!!!" <-- For real, y'all. What are the odds, I was asking myself. "Well.... can I take this one??" <--Desperation.

*goes to check* "Because this is a discontinued item, I can sell the display laptop. And actually, it is the absolute last one, so..." 

"I'll take it!!!"

And then I got a discount since he was the display that everyone touched and checked out. ^__^

Mr. Acer (It's his name even though it's also his brand. I think it's a good name for a compy!) is uber awesomeness! He's fast and sleek! For MUCH less than 1k, I have the Intel Pentium Dual Core Processor, 160GB HDD, 1GB DDR2, a 14.1 inch LCD screen that is SOOOOO pretty, and Windows Vista Home Premium - which I'm currently loving a whole lot more than XP. ^__^ There are other bonuses, but these were the specs that I was looking for. What's really cool is that he only weighs 5.23 lbs. =D I wanted under 5.5, so it's all good. 8)

Best Buy kept him over night to restore him and install/un-install the security and trial programs, so I didn't have to do a thing when I picked him up at 1 today. All day long, I was dragged shopping, much to my SEVERE annoyance, but it was actually useful (I'll post about that in a separate post). Then I had to fight with the modem to allow me to connect which a call to AT&T solved.

So now I'm up and running. ^__^ I'm SOOO excited! I have like.... 8 or so things I need to type up. Plus My Space and Facebook. And updating ff.net. And then there are those memes I haven't done. Oh, and some e-mails I owe people...............

Yeah, I'm gonna be busy. XD
