For those of you who are curious about this laptop I’m (hopefully) getting, here’s a little more detail. It’s a Compaq, and it has:

• A widescreen lcd monitor
• A monster hard drive (I’m thinking 180 GB, but don’t quote me on that)
• A bunch of memory (1280 megs of RAM, I think)
• Windows Vista (not my first choice, but it seems to be handling it well)
• Built-in WiFi

That’s all I can remember right now. But it’s a very nice setup. I suppose I should stop counting my chickens, but it looks like it might actually happen this time. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
