my new netbook...

i broke down and treated myself to a new computer.....since i am about to move into a smaller apartment, i decided i wanted to ensure that i had a portable wifi netbook, or cheap laptop to keep me up to date with technology....and after some internet research and at least an hour at Canada Computers in waterloo, i settled on a brand new Acer-aspireOne netbook....this sucker has an 11.6inch high definition screen and a large hard drive(160GB) no cd rom, but 3 usb ports for connecting external devices like a cd burner....for now i only have a mouse and my behringer uca-202 audio interface connected....plus there is an extra monitor connection, however i have not connected my giant CRT monitor, i will wait and perhaps i will buy a flat screen monitor....for now this is perfect.
i dont like the keyboard, its weird, and i dont like windows os, mac-os is more my thing, but that comes from 15+ yrs of using only mac-os.
so far i have enjoyed watching videos online, streaming only, and this computer works with every video hosting site i have come across.
All this for the low price of $327.86, after taxes, and with a one year warranty.
Last week was a very good week for me, i sold $400 worth of stuff on kijiji, and finished 3 years of taxes, then sold my return to H&R Block, plus i received two weeks of holiday pay, and got my regular paycheque....so basically i am doing ok.
That is a big change from how i have been doing all winter....stressing out, worrying, and not able to accomplish much because of the anxiety..
i guess i paid some dues and now its time to reap a few rewards.
i am just glad that i could afford to get this new netbook at this time....in case i dont have a home internet connection right away when i move....now i can just take this little thing into any tim hortons and access the web via wi-fi....i have yet to log onto the web via wi-fi, but i am sure it wont be a problem.
it isnt for anybody else out there.
and thats the update....
have a good week...
