I can't help but feel weird when replacing a computer that's less than five years old. But... something just isn't right with this laptop. How many times am I supposed to fix the power supply? It breaks way too easily and if I didn't have a total geek for a friend I would have ended up spending a hell of a lot having it repeatedly fixed. That's why I didn't buy another Gateway laptop. This time I'm trying a Dell (that and Dell had a better deal tonight. I did check both sites)

The laptop I'm on now hasn't completely ceased working, but the power supply has become extra hinky again and I really would like to transfer all my stuff before it decides to die so I went ahead and ordered a new one. I just feel absurdly indulgent buying a new laptop.
