Nope. No new laptop for me this year.

poltr1Six months ago, I thought about buying another laptop to replace what I currently have. And I found what I was looking for on overstock.com: a refurbished Dell Latutude D620 laptop with 1 Gb of memory and an 80 Gb hard drive. I watched and waited as the price fell from $350 to $250 over the past few months.
Last week, I had the money to purchase the laptop and the matching docking station/port replicator. And so I did. It arrived today.
Meanwhile, life had other plans for me and my budget. And the bottom line is that I'll have to send the laptop back. Thankfully, overstock.com has a good return policy. I can ship it back, unopened, and I should get most of my money back.
Just as well. I probably wouldn't use the new laptop for another few months.
