BTW (this has nothing to do with your post): I got a laptop! Sony Vaio, 2 GB memory, 120GB hard drive, 15.4" screen. Best of all, it was relatively cheap...$800 (on sale from $1000). Only thing that concerns me is the graphics card, it's an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with 224MB video memory. What do you think?? Opinions?? The computer's still in the box and totally returnable. I bought it on kind of a whim and now I'm second-guessing myself, or experiencing buyer's remorse, or something...
Anyway, I hope you're having a ton of fun! :)
