I got my laptop today (aren't bonuses from work wonderful?) My BIL got it for me and set it all up. He dropped it off at my daughter's workplace since he was going past there today so I got it just a few hours ago. Before I could even open the case to take it out, Bijou claimed possession of it.

Yes, he'll probably spend hours "talking" to Topaz.

What a surprise! Sammie insists on walking across the area between my keyboard and the edge of the laptop every day - sometimes several times a day.

Silly me...I forgot that it is all about her.

Unfortunately Bruce, work wouldn't be buying me a laptop. This is my own personal laptop that I got with my annual bonus so my hubby doesn't have to share our desktop with me in the evenings. He uses the desktop to practice his songs for the band. My biggest problem with the laptop is the keyboard. I'm so used to a regular keyboard that my fingers keep getting in all the wrong places.

Dell Inspiron 1525/1526 with a few upgrades from the basic machine like larger memory, cordless mouse, and other stuff that I know very little about. My BIL has his own computer installation/maintenance business and works on contract so he got the computer for me through his business account with Dell and set it all up for me. I just told him what I would like to have, what I'd be using it for, that I didn't want to have to upgrade in a couple years and he took it from there for me. Oh, and I opted for hot pink just so hubby remembers it's mine.

congrats on your new laptop that is too cute!!! Squishy loves to sit on my keyboard while i am trying to use my laptop so yours has claimed it closed your gonna have to stand your ground when its open
that is funny i always send on whatever squishy has added to what i am typing i just make a quote at the end that it was "squishy's response"
it gets quite a few laughs when i am on instant messengers lol

Thanks. Yes the photo is showing the zip up case. The actual computer cover is a vibrant hot pink.
You could probably see it on the Dell website. No Vista - I have Windows XP.
