I think it's about time for a new computer... - Page 3

This laptop is on it's last leg. The screen no longer works and I have to have an external monitor, the battery no longer holds a charge so the laptop needs to stay plugged in all the time, and streaming videos almost always hang up, although the audio will play through all the way. I'd say I'm going to have to break open the wallet at some point and get something new.

Trying to hold off as long as I can, though. Just 2k shy of being out of debt (except the house) and just found out there is no funding for the tuition assistance program through work for 2012. This means that if I want to take the second half of classes that I already started this semester, I either have to pay 1700 + books out of pocket, or I have to wait and see if there will be funding in 2013. No way I'm waiting a year to take the 2nd half of these classes, so I guess I don't really have an option.
