yah... my guys are always side-stepping our purchasing dept and going straight to CDW or Fry's or whatever... then I get yelled at when they do it. I *know* why they do it... 'cuz they *need the stuff*. so... I figger I'll do it the "right" way for my own 'puter.
Sheesh. I could have it tomorrow, but no...
Sorry, hon. I told ya to use your birthday as leverage. ;-)
I got some *looks* for buying some cheap speakers for my computer (company obviously doesn't provide speakers).
So, I didn't want to be a "repeat offender" by going out and buying a mouse.
But the out-of-pocket expense for a mouse is nothing compared to a laptop, so I'd go with your plan too!
