computer

Well, all that I have left to do is receive a credit card with cash back rewards (I went with capital one because the american express card only gives the max cash back after you've already spent more than $6000). Then I can buy my new computer. In the meantime, I found a solution to being unable to close my powerbook. I went to the hardware store and after going down nearly every aisle, I found these cable clips for outside that works as a perfect clamp for the separating edge! I can easily open and close the computer now. Made me very happy. Of course, now I have to decide if I want to wait until august when the merom intel chip is expected. Yes, I realize I've been saying I'm going to buy the computer since january and then the fact that my computer wasn't opening and closing correctly pushed the urge to buy but now I wonder if I should wait longer even though I really, really, really want to buy a new one now. True that since I'm upgrading from a 4 year computer I'll have a much better machine but now I'm just not sure. I read some message boards about the computer and suspected future upgrades and all I feel is jealous that I don't have one yet. And if I buy now, I can work on moving all my files over to the new computer when I have my vacation in june. So many decisions. I need money. Hey, where the hell is my state income tax refund anyway?!?
