Ok...Well I just pounded my 3rd pack of cigarettes, and to put it quite bluntly, I'm stressing the HECK out.
So, my dad's girlfriend got out of rehab on Saturday and bless her, I think she's over her addiction. Anyways she befriended someone at rehab who is an alcoholic. Well on Saturday, my dad's girlfriend called me to let me know that this person she befrended needed a place to crash for a couple of days and right then red flags were sent up...But I trust my dad's girlfriend so what the hey...All is welcome here...Her friend wanted to use my laptop after a couple of hours that she was here and I didn't see the problem in it, but I let it known to PLEASE be careful with my powerbook because it is my BABY and it is the only material possession I am completely bonded to. Needless to say, the girl got hammered that night, and while I was sleeping, snuck into my room, used my laptop...And...Spilled...Beer...All...Over...The...Trackpad...So I sold the powerbook on ebay for $320 the next day after I took a long, long, long walk to cool off.
So now that I need a new laptop, my question is this...I have $450...What should I get? The 1.67s on ebay are way out of my price range and I need a laptop pronto as I'm starting school in 2 weeks. I REALLY Don't want a 12" ibook/powerbook because the screen drives me nuts. I'd really really love to get my hands on a 1.42 GHz iBook but I feel that I'm really limiting myself there because you can only max out the RAM to 1GB. Help. What should I get for $450. I can't even think, I need your help guys...I'm just beyond...yeah....This face : is an understatement....
I even threw a poll in for the fun of it.
