New Computer

So, last night I had to go get a new computer. My computer was to expensive to fix... so Best Buy gave me another one. Good, huh? Well, truth be told I just really wanted my old one back. My settings were all done, I had information on there (most of it is backed up but some is not), I had downloaded programs I liked... Now, I had to start all over.
Here is more of the story. I go in to get my replacement computer and they let me pick from the things on the floor-- sounds nice right? Well, not when they tell you that there is only one computer you can choose and it is almost nothing like the one you originally had. I was so upset. Then they told me that I could pay the difference and get a different one. This did not help, because I really didn't have the money to spend. It was a hard decision and I felt trapped... I have tons of homework and I just need a computer.
Finally, after Paige helped go over specs and use her knowledge (and Ashley looked some stuff up on the internet), I made a choice. I had to pay $150 more, I talked them down $50, but I think I'm going to be just as happy, if not happier with this computer. It has surround sound speakers (which sound was always one of my complaints with the other laptop), a number pad (which I love), more memory, and more hard drive space. I chose to get an Acer Aspire 6930.

So they only made you pay $50 for a $150 upgrade... not bad. I am glad you like it!
