After getting tired of trying to share computers at work and at home, the wife decided she needed to get a laptop to use for school. We were planning on getting one eventually, but yesterday she decided she needed it now.
So last night, I got onto the Dell website and after some hemming and hawing, bought a Dell 5150. It’s a bit of a hefty laptop, but after she decided she probably wouldn’t be hauling it around with her all over the place, I opted to go for power over weight.
Now we wait and hopefully it will arrive in a week or so.
Looks like I’ll be hanging onto my beater Honda for a little while longer.

That was your chance to get a Powerbook! You could have at least gotten a nice iBook for that 🙂
A nice Powerbook would have been cool. I’ve been eyeing one of those new dual G5 PowerMacs too. My wife likes to stick with what she knows though (she doesn’t even like me changing browser versions), and we’re pretty much a Windoze operation at home. At work is another story though. One old Solaris box, and as soon as my KVM switch arrives, one of my two Windoze boxes is getting a Fedora transplant.
I know the feeling, Terry resisteed Safari up to the point where I had to delete IE 🙂
