desktop debt replacement

i started looking online at desktop replacement computers. i really wanted to compare apples to apples with the macbook pro, and found that pc magazine had a pretty straightforward comparison. and their top rated was the acer travelmate 8204WLMi, against the macbook pro 17". sure, it has a smaller screen, but overall, it's also several hundred dollars cheaper, and comes standard with a 256M Graphics card and 2G RAM standard.

why is it easier for me to decide which laptop to buy vs. which camera to buy? the cameras are so much cheaper, and yet, i struggle every time i go in the store. i still like the nikons, but i need to spend about 8 hours in the damn store again playing to make sure. and then writing down the results.

my credit cards are almost paid off, and they raised my credit limit by 300%. scary. with fewer comics and fewer figures to pick up, and it being time to sell some off, maybe i can raise a couple hundred dollars to put down towards both?

kc said she might stop by today, so i've cleaned up the house minimally. nala's working in the basement, and i have a virtual ton of web work to get done by morning.

no stress... new site goes live wednesday and i have to redo the template by morning to get the background to work! ACK!
