I’m accustomed to working on a desktop computer, but my PC still isn’t back from Best Buy… and may never be again since they’ve become real asses about welching on their no-lemon policy. I’m more committed than ever to building my next desktop system myself, from high-quality parts, not this bargain-basement crap Acer and Best Buy conspire on.

Anyway, I now have a current laptop, thanks to my Web page creation side-gig, and I love it; aside from the graphics, it matches the specs of my MIA desktop, or improves on them. However, it’s troublesome adjusting to the keyboard layout and the hinky touchpad mouse. I’ve pretty much disposed of the touchpad in favor of a USB mouse and am tempted to add in a USB keyboard as well. I will probably do that as soon as I get my desk put together, since I’ll then have room for the keyboard. At least I’m not laying on glass tile in the meantime; my floor at least has cozy carpet on it.

Other than that, however, everything about this laptop is awesome. And it’s not an Acer, thank God! It’s an Asus T60!

But I still miss my desktop.
