I’m Getting a New Laptop!
We just ordered it last night from The Linux Store. We were very happy to find a place that does Linux laptops in Canada. Otherwise I would have had to order from the US and pay customs fees which is a pain.
I’m getting a 15″ Lenovo 3000 N100 with a 1.6Ghz processor and 1gig ram. Ubuntu pre-installed. Liam has the email with the rest of the specs. It should be here in a few days!! Yay!
The computer I was using at home is 5 years old and I was really starting to get annoyed with it.

Sorry about that.

We decided on the Lenovo 14″ (first option). After getting out a ruler to see how big 14″ would be vs. 15″. I want something smaller so I can move around with it so I think 14″ will be best

I was thinking ‘That’s not bad for a laptop at all’, but then I remembered it was in Canadian dollars. Still much better than paying customs on it.
