I've been needing a laptop for FOREVER, so this one will fit the bill quite nicely. It was a great price, and it'll finally free up the main computer so that my poor husband can have his turn at it more than once a week, poor man! ;-)
I also needed something to take with me to Warrenton for Antiques Week, so if you happen to be there shopping or selling, come on over to Bar W Field and say hi to both of us!
Happy Friday!

I love your new toy and I can not wait to meet you at Warrenton. You know it is my all time favorite thing to do. Whats great is I live only 13 miles from there. I have already ask for the time off too.
Your new toy is great.
Maggie
Oh. My. Goodness, but that is a wonderful new toy. How smart the two of you look together. I would say that it was very sweet of you to get yourself that new toy so's your hubby could play on the main computer, more often. Does he realize what a treasure you are to do that?

Hey Anne. Your living my dream! A new laptop and going to Warrenton for Antiques Week. I wish I was so lucky.
I hope you're feeling better! Thanks for visiting. I always love hearing from you.
Have a blessed and fun weekend. Hugs...Tracy :)
Congrats on your new toy. Yikes! Those specs, additional features, software -- so many numbers, don't even know what it all means. We always need an extra computer around here and great to have something portable. Sorry to hear you are still on the road to recovery. Have a great weekend and have fun playing. Best wishes, Tammy
That seems to be a great new toy! Most of the terms sound like Chinese to me though. I just want a computer to do what I want it to do - an FAST por favor, lol. Have fun with the new baby!
Hugs and love,
Julia
Oh I could use one of these!!! HAVE FUN! And thank you dear lady for keeping me in your heart and prayers....wow, that is so kind! I will keep you all update, that is for certain!! HAPPY WEEKEND! Anita
Oh P.S., you are the second person with this wonderful background...is it from the Graphic Fairy? I would like to find it, but I don't see a button on your blog for it...
The wi-fi links are great. Moreover the clips present in the blog are also great. I find the laptop very attractive and want to posses a similar one.
Ugghhhh . . . wadchajustsay???? Anne, you sound like a computer geekette! My eyes were glazing as I was reading the list of wondrous features on your new laptop. I am so not a computer person. It's an amazement I'm able to keep my blog going! LOL
Have fun with your new toy. :o) Sorry you're still under the weather. Get better soon!
OK Miss Anne-
I didn't understand a word of those specs, but I do know that is a laptop.
Embarrassing, right?
Keep typing!
Will you be at Round Top?
Laura
I really want a laptop, but I don't know anything about computers, cept how to turn them on!!! LOL! I have a Blackberry now and I can use it for a modem with the laptop!
I'd have to win one right now if I got it!! Funds are low! But I love yours, have fun with it!
TOT
