Woo-hoo!!! I am so excited. I'm going to get my laptop. Finally!!!! Praise the Lord, I can have my OWN computer to write my novel... just for me and nobody else to use. Hallelujah!
I really feel blessed. Several opportunities have arisen for me to earn some side money, and I just logged on to my credit card's rewards website (which I've never bothered to check before) and found out I had a nice chunk of change waiting to be redeemed there, too. So when I add that to the birthday money my family gave me last year, and counting up the coins in my Laptop Fund jar, I should have enough for a modest machine.
Now, what kind to get? Suggestions?

WOW! That is exciting and I am so happy for you!
I'm not sure what to recommend though but I say shop, shop, shop around and compare! I'm sure you'll do that. :)
Tell us all about it when you get it!
hooray for you!! whooping and hollering all the way over here in Mesa, AZ. maybe you can hear me. i love my HP Pavilion because it fits my small hands. have fun choosing.
I have long fingers, Michelle. I need a big keyboard. LOL! But I hear HP's are good.
With a blog title like "Christine's Cottage," I'm in. :)We got our son a Dell laptop for college that was around $500-600. I specifically asked him if he felt the keyboard was big enough for a guy's hands, and he said yes.
Hi Marcia, thanks so much for stopping by. I have a Dell PC which I am happy with, so I'm looking at Dell laptops as well. I think I'm probably getting an Inspiron 14 with a six-cell battery, which should last about 5.5 hours. They are $599, but I also have to buy Microsoft Home in order to get Word 2007, so that's another hundred bucks. Sheesh. I already have a copy, but it's installed on the PC and I guess you can't use it twice.
It's a little difficult to think of spending $700 on myself. Or on my writing. If I buy this, I'm going to feel obligated to try to publish a.s.a.p. to justify the expense.
Why couldn't I have taken up knitting? LOL!
