Yes, after all the angst and indecision, I am happy to announce that I am typing this on my NEW laptop! I will brag because I think I got an awesome deal!!
--Acer which gets pretty good customer ratings, Aspire 5517
--15.6" HD LCD screen
--250 GB hard drive
--3 GB memory
--AMD Athlon duo core processor
--Windows 7 (which I can attest is soooo much better than icky Vista)
--runs smooth and FAST!
And the best part???? It was on sale at Staples for $350. Yes, that is not a typo. At that price, I could not resist giving it a try. Maybe someday I will have a Mac of my very own, but I could not justify paying 3 times as much to get a Mac...I'm not on the computer enough.
And I recently finished my "Schroon Lake Socks."
Cast on, back in June during a road trip to upstate New York, they languished in a basket much of this summer. And even when I picked them back up, I was not very project monogamous. There were prayer shawls to knit and other things to do! But I did finish them. The cooler autumn weather motivated me. One can never have enough hand-knit socks when things start to get chilly. Especially someone like me who gets cold feet!
Thanks for stopping by the blog and joining the giveaway drawing. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the nice new computer. Seeing as you got such a good deal on it, does it mean you are going to spoil yourself some more and get your new spinning wheel?
I am currently in the research and shop around mode. I am trying to learn as much as I possibly can about wheels so I can make an informed purchase. In the mean time, I hope and pray that no major appliance failure, car repair, or medical bill comes along and gobbles up the $$$ I hope to spend on a wheel!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got a nice computer for a GREAT deal. I think it sounds like a wise choice. The socks are great! They look warm and toasty and beautiful!!
