I guess there is a good reason my laptop is on a cooling stand with a built-in fan. Lol.

Somehow I don't see Kat rolling her own desktop. wink

Yes, Let's have Jeff roll my desktop for me! lol You guys are too funny. I was off seeing S18's senior pictures. They were really good. He hates getting his picture taken so that was a really pleasant surprise. We had to narrow it down from 115 to 36.

Now I have to narrow it down to like 5 unless I want to owe her my other 3 kids!! I have to make up my mind by next Thursday...yikes!!

If you want a computer get a PC. If you want an experience get an Apple smile It's like buying a Lexus or a Kia...both will get you there.

On the inexpensive side the new netbooks can be had for well under $200 and a starter laptop for around $400 these days. However, I do agree with Jeff that even having multiple laptops and an iPad I prefer the good ole desktop 8 out of 10 times. A 22 inch LCD and it's on 24/7.

Oh and Vista is the worst of the three OSes; I'd go with XP if you have older hardware or Windows 7 if you have a newer computer.

A 115 pics down to 36 down to 5?? yikes! but I hear you, they can be pricey!

Before the start of school last year, I got the Walmart-special laptops - I was able to get two, one for each kid, for the money I had saved and was going to get just one at BestBuy. They were $198 each - I think they are doing the special again for Christmas. Only issue is that one's battery no longer holds a charge, so S15 has to plug it in. That way, the kids can use it as they want and not mess with mine!

You've reminded me that I have to take the Christmas photo for cards...

So far the old Dell is back to doing the basics just fine but it won't recogonize the graphics card. Help!!

The photographer actually had about 300 photos and had already narrowed it down to 115 so at least we didn't have to do that. We thought it would take an hour...try 2.5.
