SNAP OUT OF IT!, I'm buying myself a laptop today, dammit. Options

As opposed to this -

I'm going to buy a laptop today to get myself out of this damn funk I seem to be in.

Any other hormone/emotional catalyst type shoppers out there? haha

I'd be replyin' to your topics if I didn't have to watch a video for every one of them >< later I guess

No worries. Although the videos are more supplemental than a necessity. I'm a visual person and those videos sort of act as a quasi visualization of what I'm sort of feeling/thinking. haha

Oh to explain that (and answer the laptop question), my son is out of town and I'm feeling some cabin fever. I'm also on my period (lol) so there's overactive hormones to spare. The whole "I've gotta get out of here" from Airplane sequence popped in my head, hence the video. xD

I bought a cheapie. My budget (LOLWHATBUDGET?) is minimal, but needed a new, smaller laptop with wifi with decent specs because I have decided to go back to school part time in the fall.

It's an Acer (I know, don't make fun). 160 gig hd space, 2 gig of memory. An ok vid card (at least it isn't an accelerator). It has Vista, which is making me sad, but I think I might be able to bring it in to work and see if a friend can't help me out with it. Overall, it's not terrible for my immediate needs. Next spring, I'm going to get something MUCH better with my tax returns, but for now this will do.
