It's all Dr Bizzaro's fault, bought a 17" Powerbook.

Cleo · 2003-08-31, 08:38 AM

I just can't stand being trapped at home all the time and then I saw Dr Bizzaro's new laptop and it just pushed me over the edge.

Bought the 17" Powerbook with extra memory so that I'll have one gig total memory. After shopping around it came to $3008 total.

I know that a few of my accounts will be willing to buy my desktop setup for $1500 so that brings my cost down to $1500.

It supports plugging in a 22" monitor for using as a second monitor so I can keep on working with two monitors, built in 17" and external monitor, just the way I'm used to. Plus it has wireless networking so I can roam around my house or go sit at Borders and surf. Not to mention that Luna has a wireless network and so does my neighbor.

Also if I get a bluetooth cell phone I can use the phone as a modem for when I'm taking a trip or something. Just set the phone next to the laptop and surf, no wires needed.

Free at last, free at last…

It isn't going to be here for 5 to 10 days so I'll be like a big kid waiting for Christmas day.

My computer can beat up your computer.

Cleo · 2003-08-31, 08:56 AM

Yeah, yeah,

Maybe we should get them together and breed them.

Then again with one being a PC and one being a Fruit they may not like each other, I hear that most fruit prefers other fruits.

I was playing off of Luna's "me inbetween the fruit" thing...

I was obviously kidding about the days pay.
It's more like 1/2 a day.

Not at all, just a budget problem…

Congrats on the new toy Cleo,

I think the good dr should pay for it being sooo tempting

Cleo · 2003-08-31, 06:31 PM

You know I was thinking the same thing.

Dr Bizzaro · 2003-08-31, 06:33 PM

I can see why you think I'm made of money ladies...but those are not a roll of quarters in my pocket.

Extreme John · 2003-08-31, 07:22 PM

Nope, 2 pairs of socks...

Cleo · 2003-09-02, 04:31 AM

I realized that my new laptop would not fit in my old laptop's bag so I had to get a new one. After looking around for something, thought about getting a hard shell type one, I decided on this one from Booq Bags.

Cleo should that be a apple green case

amber438 · 2003-09-02, 06:41 AM

I was looking at them over the weekend..
Mac has a WONDERFUL HUGE SEE THRU monitor I want..and the price just came down to 1799 over the weekend..and they have a pc adapter for it......

good luck with the new laptops, everyone..

Cleo · 2003-09-02, 08:24 AM

Amber I would go for the 20" Display. It is a lot cheaper then the 23" and almost as big. Personally I think it has a better picture then the 23" as well.

amber438 · 2003-09-02, 10:41 AM

Yeah..tha's the one that makes me cream..but I have a 22" crt now..

Cleo · 2003-09-02, 10:52 AM

The viewable area on a LCD is bigger then a CRT so it is hard to compare sizes. Also the Apple 20" and 23" are wide aspect screens unlike that of the CRT monitors.

The Powerbook that I just ordered is also a wide aspect screen and I also plan on plugging in my Apple 22" CRT display when I'm at my office. I love being able to keep my pallets on one screen and work on the other screen. I do that now with my two 22" CRT monitors and actually with the Powerbook's screen being wide aspect I will end up with even more screen real estate then what I have now.

As with most things in life bigger is better.
