Ha! Best Buy is advertising on this page "Geat pricing." And if they take it down, I have it here.

What kind of pricing would Geat pricing be, anyway? "Why buy it, when we can take it from you?" Eyja, Tony, any thoughts on the matter?

Woot! I just got approved for a Best Buy credit card with no interest for 18 months on purchases of $499 and up! I'm getting a laptop today!

My *real* post of the day...

My project for my sewing boss is to make these nifty reversable hats out of old sweaters. For Dickens on the Strand, I also made a bunch of muffs, which ended up 1-2" too small, grr. But anyway, I also combined the projects, and made these gorgeous matched hat/muff sets. I hope the people who get them love them as much as I do! (Especially the one on the left! I love that dark starred pattern!)

I am posting this from my brand new laptop! I got a Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7825 at Best Buy. I was otherwise considering an Acer, but I decided I'd rather spend the extra $50 for an extra gig of RAM, more hard drive space, and the *much* bigger display.

An unexpected selling point: the numeric keypad on the right of the keyboard. That will make data entry so much nicer. This 2.5" long space bar is kind of annoying though.

Even more annoying: I thought I had lost the itsy-bitsy nano-reciever for my cordless mouse. It turns out it was stuck in a corner of the packaging. And I spent at least a half hour tearing my tent apart, too. Oh well, at least my place is cleaner now!

I've been adjusting settings, reading though media, and so forth. Good lord, but Vista has a bunch of stuff running! Well, hopefully that will change once I've gotten my bearings a bit. Tomorrow I need to hunt down the network admin to give him $10 for the month. Not to mention moving into the trailer I'll be living in for the winter, yay!
