The search for the perfect laptop goes on and on and on
The Cottage of Blog
Good morning from the Cottage of Blog. Never mind what I'm having for breakfast. Boring. Just one boiled egg, English muffin without the jelly, coffee and juice.
Last night's 7-9 writing was was sacrificed for the continuing sear for the perfect laptop. Honestly, I nearly walked out of Circuit City with one. An Acer Travel Mate 4011. It really was nice. 15" which I think might be a bit big for traveling everywhere (back and forth to school) but then the 14" might be a bit small for watching DVD's and duh, looking the screen? I also think it only held 60 GB of harddrive storage. I think I may want more in the long run. It was a nice machine though.
Laptop magazine has a website and a consumer forum. An "Ask the Geek" as it were. I went a whole lot of criteria and questions to the group. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.
Writing: I'm trying to work in that little cabin up at Turkey Run State Park. It's an old frontier cabin and if I can get it running, I'll send on a photo of it later this eveningl. I'm having trouble sending "my pictures" to the blog. I did something. Have no idea what.
Let's face it. I still have no sound since re-hooking up my computer.
Well, on to other things: Agenda: grading reports, setting up the old computer in my classroom, putting grades into Gradekeeper software program, looking for an online class where I can get continuing education credits toward my recertification. ( I did see a creative writing program at chicago state--now, if I can find one that would qualify online--Maybe even a grammar course) and of course, the ever continueing search for
THE PERFECT LAPTOP
Cheers

I leave all the technical mumbo jumbo to DH. I can barely plug a toaster in.

Unfortunately, my DBF (dedicated best friend)is worst than me on computers. I'm learning by trial and lots of error.
