What a lovely Valentine's Day present.

I love the 'skin' and the description - perfect.

I was so thrilled!

I'm so glad you like the skin, too. It felt very atmospheric to me. :)

Much love for your icon!

I bet you were.

Atmospheric sums it up perfectly.

Thank you. I loved those two as Holmes & Watson.

Aww, I thought the Trek book would be out much sooner for some reason. I can't wait to get my mitts on it!! :)

Aw, thank you! :) I was hoping it would be, too, but the press wants to time its release for a period of maximum interest, so I understand the choice to wait until the new film is ready to debut. Hopefully the enthusiasm for the movie will carry over to the book! *fingers crossed*

Congrats on selling so many tickets! *is proud of you*

I bought myself a Toshiba netbook late last summer and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. It went to London with me, and it has come in handy in a variety of other ways at home. Your new skin is perfect. Enjoy!

Oh, thanks so much! It's sold out now, which is wonderfully encouraging. I really appreciate your (and everyone's) support!

I'm so glad you've had such a positive experience with your netbook. I've been taking my laptop with me on trips (it travels all over the house with me on a daily basis, too), and I was shocked to discover how much smaller and lighter this netbook is. Even wrapped in its own padded carrying case, it takes up far less room on my airplane carry-on, and it weighs far less. Incredible!

I'm so glad you like the skin, too. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. :D

Wow! Could that skin be any more made for you, or what??? Love it!

Oh, thank you! I'm so glad it seems fitting to you, and that you like it, too. I fell in love with it instantly.

LOL, your icon! <3

That part about the netbook from your sweetheart and the enthusiasm for the skin.... that was cute!
