Well....I went and did it.........

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I bought a laptop tonight!

A new Lenovo 3000 C200....

I am happy!

Rejoice with me!

[QMPMom]

1. Good for you Peggy! I hope that you have a lot of wonderful DU hours on

your new computer!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear QMPMom!

I expect I will.....

I'm taking it to Europe later on this spring, on my vacation trip!

I plan to download my pictures daily, and hopefully talk to you good people now and then too!

I wanted to get it early so I could get used to it, and get the websites on it that I use.....

:hi:

[Redbear]

3. That's excellent!

Glad you chose that over the Westinghouse and Whirlpool.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear Redbear.........

You are kidding me, right?

It's a new brand, from IBM........

Consumers Union says they have the best tech support and reliability second only to Apple......

:shrug:

[Madspirit]

5. Whoohoohoo!

...but confessing to twinges of envy. Congrats!
Lee

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear Madspirit!

Now, no need to be envious........

It's only money, after all!

With the rebate, it will come to about $600.00!

I thank you........:hug:

[Madspirit]

7. What a really great deal! n/t

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. I think so too.......

My brother, who is the computer expert, says he thinks so too.....

That settled it for me!

8. Congratulations, Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear lavenderdiva!

I am so damn jazzed!

Thanks, sweetie.......:hug:

The trip will happen in May.......and there will certainly be lots and lots of pics!

I can hardly stand it, I am so excited....

[VenusRising]

11. Congratulations, CaliforniaPeggy!

I got a laptop for Christmas and I love it. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of yours that I have out of mine.

:hug:

:bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear VenusRising!

I expect to get a great deal of pleasure out of it!

It's going with me to Europe in May...

So I can download my pictures into it, and so I can talk to you good people now and then, too!

I am seriously jazzed tonight!

Good to see you, sweetie! :bounce: :bounce:

[VenusRising]

15. Woot!!

:woohoo:

[Wetzelbill]

12. wow, took me long enough to find this thread

I hope it's the right one. :)

That sounds awesome, I wouldn't mind getting a laptop one of these years. Perfect for writing purposes and so on.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear Wetzelbill!

Yes, this is the right thread!

I should have at least provided you with a link! I mean, really!

I expect to have a lot of fun with it.......for a long time!

:hug:

[Wetzelbill]

23. in all fairness

there is no way you could have known I would have gotten lost searching for it. :)

One problem I have is, I spend lots of time screwing around on my computer as it is, so it may not be a good idea for me to have one I can carry around all the time. It could just make my problem worse, haha.

14. Cal Peg going mobile...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. What a scary thought!

No stopping me now!

:scared:

[leftofthedial]

16. Congrats!

Ciao

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear leftofthedial!

Thanks!

Ciao.......:hi: :hug:

[SeattleGirl]

19. Good for you, Peggy!

I've had laptops for the past 5 years, and I love it! Right now, I'm in my usual evening position, sittin' sideways on my couch, laptop on the lap, kickin' back!

Now, if you don't have a wireless router, GET ONE!!!

:toast: :bounce: :toast:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear SeattleGirl!

Yeah, this should be FUN!

I forget.............what's a router? :blush:

Thanks sweetie! :woohoo: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

25. A router (specifically, wireless router) is something you hook up to

your desktop computer and your internet modem. I am assuming you have built-in wireless in your computer, as all new ones seem to come with it. It allows you to take your laptop to different areas of the house and be hooked up to the internet, without having a physical line from the computer to the modem!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. Thanks for the info!

And as soon as I read your description, I remembered hearing about these before.....

And I will need one......since I do think I'll use it at least some of the time in my kitchen, and there's no ethernet connection in there...

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

33. Good for you, Peggy!!

Just talk to the folks at your computer store, and they should be able to help you pick a good one.

My first one lasted 5 years; just recently had to get a new one. Not bad.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

20. congrats Peggy!!!!

:hug:

use it in good health

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. MAHNY!

Sweetie, how lovely to see you tonight!

I will use it in good health!

How did your tests go? Any feel for your results?

:hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

44. They were intense

Calculus was AWFUL. Ive never taken a test like it before in my life. Bio was hard but not as bad, but I'm still nervous.

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. Aw, sweetie.........

Have a hug......Not much I can do at this distance......:hug:

I'm hoping you did really well......You deserve to do well! :loveya:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

46. I did do pretty good on my chem midterm, so hopefully the trend sticks

:loveya:

and hugs are all i need :hug::hug::hug::D

[Broken_Hero]

26. Looks like a good machine Peg, BUT

my only question is, where is mine?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear petersond!

Well, sweetie......

29. Wooohooo another thinkpad user!!!

Errr I mean Lenovo user!!!!

I bought a Thinkpad z60 a few months ago.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. My dear LSK!

Thanks!

I hope you're enjoying your Thinkpad laptop!

I fully expect to just love my Lenovo!

:hi:

[Mrs Robeson]

30. Yeh!!!

We've been researching new ones and would love to be able to get one too!!! Good for you!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear Mrs. Robeson!

It is very exciting!

I found Consumer's Report to be very helpful.......

I don't remember which issue it was, though...Sorry.....

I like them since they don't have any advertising, and so they're not in the pockets of the people who make the products that they review...

Thanks for coming by tonight!

:hi:

:hug:

[ohiosmith]

35. If you are happy, I am happy.

:woohoo:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. My dear graywarrior!

Yes, I will be taking it on my vacation!

Right now, however, I am not sure about any internet access....

Details to follow when I get them.....

It will be a long three weeks, baby, if I can't get on the net! :cry:

[MassLiberal]

41. congrats!!

This is your first laptop? If so, prepare to feel freedom as you've never felt it before, LOL! ESPECIALLY if you go wireless...woo hoo!! :bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. My dear MassLiberal!

Yes, this is my first laptop!

I will probably be using it in the wireless mode, at least some of the time!

Thank you......I am very excited about the freedom I will have!
