I was sitting around this morning feeling sorry for myself because it was looking like it would be a very long time before I would be able to buy a laptop, if it was going to happen at all. I was talking to Ken about my research and such, and how I couldn’t find what I wanted. He asked about whether the coupon was still any good. I told him it didn’t matter because they upped the minimum options and the price wasn’t worth it.

But, on a whim, or perhaps wishful thinking, I went back to check. I didn’t take the time to reconfigure it, I just ran through the setup to get to where I needed to enter the coupon code to see if it still worked. It did. And when I went back to check on the configuration, the default minimum had dropped again. Instead of being one year, the minimum was two years, but I was planning on getting the 2 year warranty anyway. Once again the geeks agreed that I would be stupid not to buy it.

So I said let there be laptop. And it was so.
