Upgrades

It's amazing how something simple in your life will reenergize it for you. Well, this can almost be taken literally for me. I just recently bought a new battery for my laptop. I had been confined to the 6 foot leash of power for several months now, and it feels great to be able to just open up my laptop and do some quick work without having to pull out the power cable and find an outlet. This will be particularly helpful in my vagrant past time of visiting coffee houses and other Wi-Fi hotspots. Aside from my new freedom in Lithium Ion form, I also purchased a 1GB USB Thumbdrive. It too has come in VERY handy so far. I've been able to transfer pictures from friends computers to mine, as well as having documents available wherever I go that I might need them (without having to carry around my computer).

I purchased both of these things on Buy.com for a VERY reasonable price. The 1GB thumbdrive was only $27. Go me! I'm thinking about maxing out my memory in my computer while I'm at it to give it just a little bit more life until I can afford to buy a new computer. Those MacBook Pros are looking quite interesting.
