Great deal on the computator dude. I agree -- extended warranty = you minus $$ for nothing and them + $$ from suckers. As for antivirus software, get rid of Norton and McAfee. Download avg for free at avgfree.com and ad-aware at adaware.com. Both free. AVG updates for free as well. Best anti-virus software and anti-spyware software out there that I have seen thus far.

Dan, I was wondering with your new add's, what number did you end up with?

My printer/scanner was so old that it wouldn't even suck the paper up to print on anymore. 
It's only a matter of time! 
Probably not when Dad is around though, he already thinks all of this planning ahead is very strange. He has not been for 15 years and when we went we packed our lunches into the park. I can't wait to introduce him to Disney dining! 
I'm extremely tired. So tired that I bought a new laptop. That's right I bought a new laptop.
Well let me back up. My roommate's laptop has been acting up lately. It's 5 years old and that's like 90 years old in human years. Last night, it took me forever to do what I needed to do on these boards and it was frustrating. The old laptop has randomly been turning off and not restarting.... I need a new computer I thought. With just over a month left before my trip, just think how many updates I need to do.....
So after work today, I went to BestBuy to purchase a new computer. However I did have a little help...........
Who has all the technical knowledge around these parts? Who out Peeps the original Peep?
That's right Great Biscuit to the rescue again!!!!
So I PMed with an urgent request for help purchasing a new laptop. He called me and we chatted about what I was looking for in a laptop. He directed me to the Sony Vaio. He also said not to buy virus software in the store and not to get the extended warranty (I'll just send the computer to him for repairs). Off I went like the good listener that I am...and bam...new computer.

I wanted to apologize to everyone for not posting my MHPC tally.
I think I let the holiday's get away with me and forgot to post the total of how many I actually commandeered.
I appreciate everyone who was sweet enough to guess, and then put up with me letting you hang in the breeze until I got my poop in a group.
OK the moment you've been waiting for.
Drum roll please.........772!

iknow i shame myself.You should be embarrassed...only 387!
I hit another Home Depot and added 14....I'm up to 38.
for AVG! I have used it on my laptop since I got it a year ago and it's worked great! I am lucky enough to have a friend who's a computer guy, so he told me about AVG - I had been paying $70.00 a year for Mcafee.
I drive past 2 home depots on the way to work everyday. Does that count for anything?iknow i shame myself.
Well actually his would be The Hot, Sweaty 1/2 Asian That Everyone thinks is Italian or Hispanic instead of Asian Strikes Back. 
I hope I don't stay too tired. I may end up with a new house...
I also use the free virus stuff-has caught a bunch of nasty stuff for me. Can't wait to see/read all the updates!
