I've been thinking about the upgrades for a while. But there are other things I need to buy, pay for, or repair first: The car. A new garage door opener. The HEPA filter in my room. The large burner on the stove. And the occasional condo association assessment. *sigh*

I've also been thinking about getting a 6 Gb hard drive for my current laptop for over a year. That'll set me back about $100; more if I have someone else do the upgrade and data transfer.
