Nevermind .... called my mom and she's like, "I don't know why you're in such a rush to go and get one. I'd rather have you save up more money.... I don't want you taking out that kind of money out of your savings." Oh well. They'll be more soon. Grr... I want more money damn it!

Yeah - I used the $80 off coupon for Dell Inspiron refurbished laptops.

I don't think she wants me to get a refurbished one, plus it has the three year - mail-in warrantee on it.
