New computer!
Yeah, I finally took the plunge and bought one -- a shiny new HP Envy 15 laptop! We went to the same store, but a different location, and the customer service was so much better there. The salesman was actually helpful and didn't stalk me while I was browsing. They had a much larger selection to boot.
Originally I wanted a new desktop, but since this one still works okay, a laptop seemed a more logical choice. That way I can use both. The desktop I'll probably keep using to play Sims 2 on, along with doing most of my writing, while the laptop will be for Sims 3 and the internet, once we get it set up. Oh, yeah, we're finally joining the 21st century and getting rid of dial-up! (Getting rid of the landline altogether, actually, since we rarely use it to make calls anyway.) It's going to be AWESOME! Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!

You did the same thing that I did (i.e. keep good ol' desktop, get laptop to complement it). And welcome to high-speed Internet. You will feel the difference down to your very bones!
