Splurge !

Posted on April 13, 2006 by ha256

This is the end result of my IRS refund:

Inspiron E1505, Intel Core Duoprocessor T2300 (2MB/1.66GHz/667MHz)
15.4 Inch Wide-screen WXGA Display
Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 950 GM
24X Combo CD-RW/DVD
40GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
512MB, DDR2, 533MHz
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
53 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Module (2.0+EDR)
Integrated 10/100 Network Card and Modem
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card (54Mbps)

Total: $782 (Tax, S&H included)
Looks like the digital SLR I was looking at will have to wait. Meanwhile… I’ll be waiting for my postman to be bringing me my first new laptop on the 24th.

== EDIT 1.0 ==

Read this. It was a bit of a wake-up call for me this morning.
and something that’s been slowly hammering it’s way into my consciousness recently.

P.S. Did you know that there is a resident hawk in the UPenn area? (S)He was feasting on a tree yesterday as I was walking to my car from work.

=== EDIT 1.1 ==

I found my xanga photoblog! I never even knew I had one of those…

    When did you get the laptop?  They shouldhave had 1Gb upgrade w/ it… I had a circular on it and it looked appealing…

    Sorry ’bout that….thanks for letting me know that the post sounded scary.  I’m around the silliness and banter here so much that I don’t always stop to think how it might sound to someone who might not have actually been in on the conversation or seen Andrea and I and our friends being silly before. 🙂
