Perfect notebook and bag found

So, I found the perfect notebook computer that I want for when I go back to school;

it’s the Acer Ferrari 3400 with an AMD 64 3000+ processor and all the other goodies, but not too big and heavy, and best of all it comes in a shiny red carpaint finish.

and, I’ve found the perfect bag for it to go in

it’s perfect. it looks like a nice, normal tote; black suede with pink straps, but it has a nice section that fits a 15″ laptop (like the ferrari).

Shiny, Pink, and Plays MP3s

yes, that’s right. I got one. I am now the proud owner of a Pink Ipod Mini. It’s very spiffy. I do have far more than 4gb of music, of course, and audio books but I figure that I don’t need to carry my whole library around with me. That’s what my hard drive is for. It’s plenty of space for what I’d want to have with me, though, and I love the tiny size and pretty pinkness of it. I’ve named mine Posy.
