I think the thread is changing to be "I got it...whatever it is.!"
I'll pass on the laptop until I really really need one. I too don't like the touchpad..pretty soon, criminals won't have legible fingerprints b/c they used too many touchscreens, lol.
I took the car for a longer drive than I anticipated. I drove about 30 minutes to go to see "Kate and Leopold". Got there about 30 minutes early b/c I wasn't sure how long it would take me..((There's only 1 passing lane on the 2 lane road.)) Anway, after I sat in the car for about 20 minutes, I got out and went to the ticket window and found out that movie wasn't showing due to technical difficulties so I took the long away home, went and bought a book and came home. Tom wasn't that impressed with his motorcycle show either.
Oh well..it stopped raining..
