I'm in no hurry, though. I can wait. I just hope I find a good one by MLB playoff time, so I can post while watching.</div> I'm guessing you have a wireless router if you are going to post + watch? War Poet, you were Yinka Dare before right? You didn't make all those sick nba compilations did you?
I was Yinka Dare, but not the one that made the videos. Yup, I have wireless set up. The desktop I have right now is on wireless. I had a laptop before, but my uncle managed to get Vundo on it, and since my dad uses it for photography/projecting, he's just going to keep it and I'll get a new one. That laptop was pretty bad. 40 GB harddrive, 700 something megabytes of RAM
Well that's not terrible. good computers these days have 1-2 Gb of Ram (preferred 2 Gig) so 768 or whatever amount of RAM isn't bad. And if you are just doing light gaming, schoolwork, and internet 40 Gigs is lots. I'm pretty sure that would run Diablo 2 fine, and counterstrike. Obviously not the newer stuff though. What's vundo btw?
I can't stand desktops anymore. They are a lot more powerful and all (for cheaper) but having the convenience of being able to take my computer wherever the hell I please is important to me.

I've had a couple of bad viruses before, but managed to get rid of them either through safe mode + instructions or reverting to a previous state, or a free online scan. So the computer doesn't slow down enough to render it useless?

I also have a desktop at home. For portablility, I just use my Blackberry. I have a 3 year old laptop, but I only take it if I am going on a vacation or something. Lately, I have been just leaving it behind. I am getting more and more into the Blackberry thing. I am doing a lot less gaming nowadays, so the Blackberry is sufficient for email and light browsing when I am away from all my desktops. All my desktops have the usb cable to blackberry connection too.

If your needs are fairly simply, I think the package deals like the one above work pretty well, and the price is hard to beat.
