New laptop on the way
What I didn't need was to have my faithful old Gateway laptop roll over and die about a week and a half ago. Well, it survived for three years, outlived it's service contract and enabled me to do a lot of website creation, fan interaction and book publicity. I feel a bit rudderless without it, but I am surviving until the new one arrives. It is also a Gateway, but it also has a 2 year service contract. It has greatly enhanced capacity over the old one, with a dual processor, 4 GB RAM, 320 GB hard drive and other goodies.
