    I resist getting a laptop because I just don't like the crowded keypad. Guess I'm going to need one, though, if I'm going to do the real estate thing.

    Any suggestions on a good brand with a fair price?

    Sorry Al, I hated being sick when I was pregnant, and poor Connor. Good morning everyone. J, I feel the same way about the lap tops. Hard to get used to

    Oh, Al sweetie, I am sorry you both are sick. Must be a summer bug.

    I love the keyboard, but getting used to the touch pad and everything. Also, I don't think I need all of this stuff that is on here. But I can't find some of them in Control Panel.

    Hey, laptop talk. I simply can't help myself!

    My laptop is the closest thing I have to a wife. Between the nagging, the need for constant attention, and the complaints about the floppy, I don't ever have to get married.

    I splurged and got a second power cord for it... Now I always have a cord at my desk and on the end table where I use it when gaming or watching movies (perma IMDB link).

    I hate hate hate hate hate the touchpad. At the same time, I hate the hassle of dealing with making space for the mouse. So I got me a trackball... moves the pointing device away from the keyboard (that adjacency was among the largest problems, doesn't require any surface area, and is great for my carpal tunnel.

    I also have an attachable numpad, so I can 10-key when doing data entry. Not so important now, but that was a lifesaver for a while there.
