May be getting a new computer...

[Jorath Calar]

I moved into my own place recently and because I really like my brother I left my computer at home, so all I have now is a 700mhz 4 year old laptop that is about as usefull as a vaccum cleaner in a desert... well I can watch movie on it and listen to music but that is about it...I have not been this game-starved since... well never in my life have I missed computergames so much...

So it is time to buy a new computer, I found one and the store offers you to buy it on loan, which has really low interest and I'll only be paying about 55$ a month...for the next 3 years... which is not so bad... except the computer will most likely be outdated by the time I have payed for it...
