My laptop is not wireless and it needs to be.  What is the point of having a wireless in this day and age and NOT be wireless, I ask.  This computer is only about five years old… it’s not that the technology wasn’t available. But it might have been new. Or I was too cheap. Probably a combination of both that made me decide on the conservative side that the extra expense just wasn’t worth it to me.

Well now it is and I have been looking around. I grabbed a wireless card for my current laptop on my way out of town for a social networking seminar. Unfortunately, the card didn’t work so I was unplugged for the whole convention. When I got back I began researching wireless options with new laptops.  I stumbled upon the Acer Aspire and have really had to work hard not to buy it.  I’ll look into it after the holidays, but for now, too many holiday expenses to go laptop shopping, know what I mean?

I know lots of people are buying BIG when it comes to laptops right now. Big monitors and such. But I am into the smaller netbooks.  The size is much more convenient for travel and since I depend on my car and coffee shops to be my office away from home, I need to consider the compact design for saving space.

But since the biggest thing I need to consider at the moment is my budget, I’ll have to suffer through for a little longer, locked in my basement, trying to be creative, bound to a laptop with cords.  I’m not complaining though.  I could be trapped with NO laptop and NO internet. Then I’m afraid life wouldn’t even be worth living!
