Buyer's Remorse? What's that?

[mslulu]

"So, what'd you do on your lunch break, Terri?"
"Um, I bought a computer."

Yeah. I knew I couldn't leave that credit line sitting for very long without touching it. And with poor Daphne overworked as she is, it really is time to retire her and send her to Greener Pastures (which actually is in Snohomish, WA, to be specific).

So, the new baby isn't top of the line, but she's not the discount model either. I declared I wasn't doing Celeron again, so she's got a Pentium 4, 2.66GHz. The hard drive is 13 times the capacity of what I've been using, so it will be fun for the first month, wondering how I could ever fill that much space, then 6 months later wondering why I didn't buy the bigger drive since it'll be full by then!

I've forewarned spiritlady about the potential unscheduled absence if it turns out to be necessary. I'll figure the actual delivery details when I get the shipping confirmation in a few days.

Okay, so I can't really afford this, but I'll make do.

So, mschryste when are you coming to visit? You get a computer when you do! I'll even throw in a scanner for fun!

EDIT: And, oh yeah, It's a Dell, Dude. I just really wanted to say that.

Another reason why I like hand-building. 500 bucks out of the wallet and I jump up another level... had to a couple weeks ago so I'd be ready for Doom 3.

AMD Athlon XP 3000+

I'll shut up, now :)

Yay for impulse buying, my favorite!

Tell Daphne we love her and will come to bring her home as soon as financially and temporally possible. (Summer if Squatters goes up as currently planned, or if you want to carpool to Fredericksburg in May...?)

Carpool? Hmm... hadn't thought of that option. Might be cheaper than flying, huh? I'll have the vacation time, at least.
