It’s here, it’s here

My laptop is now in my possession. I have already taken it out of the box, but I haven’t turned it on yet. It’s cold from the trip to me (damn winter weather … LOL). I thought it would be a good idea to let it warm up first. Besides, I should probably read the documentation before I turn it on. And I really should finish up what I was working on for work so  […]

The waiting begins

I did it. I couldn’t wait any longer. Tonite I bought a laptop. :clap: :dancin: :G-roflol: I have been waiting to be able to do this for over a year. I ordered it from Dell.
