In less noteworthy news, my laptop is dead. Fried motherboard, apparently. Part of me is pissed it lasted just over a year. Part of me notes that said year included 1 month of living on a boat on the Pacific, and 8 months dragging it around London. Perhaps to be expected.
Anyway. Looking for a good deal. Want something fairly decent and modern(ish), while still being low-end enough to give me a good price. As a point of comparison, I think
this looks pretty okay, and would actually be a slight improvement over my current brick. (My Everex had, I think, 2 40GB drives.)
Any suggestions? Anybody aware of any better deals I should know about?
On an unrelated note,
LiveJournal's front page is currently funny.
