Generous Friends!

When the House closed down a very special friend reached out to more very special friends in an attempt to make our staying in touch a tad bit easier while I'm out and about on my various adventures. This friend started a donation drive to help me get a Netbook, and I was quickly humbled and touched by the support, both financial and emotional, that poured in. Each day as I found new messages in my inbox I became more and more aware of just how lucky I really am.

Thanks to the generosity of my friends, and a special deal offered to me by the local retailer, I was able to get an incredibly sweet deal on a Laptop intead of a Netbook. I ended up getting, two weeks ago, an eMachines eME725-4520,  http://review.zdnet.com/product/laptops/emachines-eme725-4520/33980423. I would have posted sooner, but part of the reason I got a whopping $130 discount on this beauty is because it was a display model. It hadn't been on display long, and it was under a plastic gaurd so it couldn't be touched, but I still wanted to make sure everything was working properly and that I wouldn't have to return it. Happily, it works beautifully. She's even more powerful than my desktop baby. I've named her Priscilla, and each time I use her I will think of all who made it possible and all who make it necessary.

Now you'll never be rid of me *cheeky*
