Greets and all that.
You're going to have to forgive me. I'm tired and I'm going home to bed shortly. I just wanted to cover some stuff before I took off.
We reached our goal for the laptop. We raised a grand total of $770 and all the pledges cleared. After fundable.org takes out their cut of 7% and the $10 for having them mail me a check, that will give me a total of $706.10 for the laptop as well as a hefty check Thursday I hope. I'll send out an email to everybody when I have the chance and post some pics as well.
I given some thought about what I want in a laptop. I had planned on getting something a bit high end with some decent graphics but I've come to the conclusion that that's just overkill for me. I'm still going to pick up the laptop (You have no idea how I need one) but I'm going to look for a used one in the local pawn shops or online and try to get one for under $400. I've been getting requests for simple graphics work as well and I'm also going to pick up a copy of Paint Shop Pro to install on the machine. I really should also register Ultraedit as well since I use it so much. A couple of other things (ie renewing this domain for one) come to mind as well that I'll discuss later on. If anyone has an issue with any of this, and you might as I only said specifically 'laptop', please feel free to drop me an email and we can work something out or I'll refund your money. (I got the issue with Paypal worked out I've discovered. Nice how they told me...)
Working this weekend both days. I don't know if I'll be around much. Please bear with me. :)
The webcomic ran out of posts three weeks ago. Oops.
Thanks again,
