New Toshiba Laptop

We both decided to have a rest day from our usual fitness program today. Chris's shin is still a little tender and I could use a rest day too.

We watched as Dennis and Barb Johnson hooked up and headed north this morning. Our little corner on G loop at TTN Orlando is pretty sparsely populated these days. We have made many new friends these past 6 months.

We headed up to Clermont this morning and stopped in at Best Buy where I picked up a very nice Toshiba Satellite A-305 laptop on sale. The motherboard on my Qosmio was fried and it would have cost almost what I paid for the new laptop to repair it. Figured why bother repairing a 3 year old laptop. It hums along pretty well with 3 GB of RAM running Windows Vista Premium.

Unfortunately, our Verizon PC5750 air card is incompatible with this laptop as there is no PCMCIA slot. So we stopped in at the Verizon store at The Groves and bought a new USB720 modem. It works very well and can be moved from computer to computer much more easily than the air card.

Of course, we just had to stop in a Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries one last time before heading back to TTN Orlando. We'll have to work it off tomorrow.

Our favourite furball goes in for grooming tomorrow morning.
