Hubby and I made the decision last night at Best Buy. We ended up with an eMachine (IBM) with 1.8GH Intel Celeron processor, 128MB RAM, 40GB HD, CD-RW and DVD-Rom. After I turn in the rebates we'll have paid only $500 for it, including an all-in-one color printer (copier & scanner) from Lexmark (I know they are junk, but we won't put much strain on it).
Couldn't post last night since I was setting up the system and creating an e-mail for Glen. Then, of course, I had to turn everything off and show him step by step how to get online.
I tested the DVD Rom by playing LoTR on it - works great. I haven't checked out the goodies yet, but I will sometime this weekend.
Got to go get ready for work so I'll post later. I just wanted to share my happy news with everyone. :)
Now I'll be able to visit the Hobbit Hole at night and over the weekend - if I get the time, that is.
Who am I kidding? I'll MAKE the time!
