My Laptop

In the fall of 2002 I finally decided to get a laptop ... I'd held off for years, and the reasons were many. I have big hands, and laptop keyboards are small, laptops are more expensive than desktops, laptops aren't as powerful as desktops, and so on.

I decided to get one because my old K6 was getting a little long in the tooth, and I realized it would be nice to take a computer with me on trips and such. I got a pretty good deal on a Dell Inspiron 2650, and I've been happy with it so far.
