Equipment Investment: John’s New Laptop

IMG_7637

2006/08/09 - Amusing update. Had a voice mail from “Betty” at Dell who found this post and called to a) thank me for the purchase and b) see how things were going. Nice to see they’re on top of blog posts.

We’ve added a new laptop to our expanding computing power. It’s a Dell Inspiron 6400 with 2GB Ram, a killer video card and nice display. The Timbuk2 bag is on the way.

Why do I tell you about these things? You should know what type of computing power your website people use. They should have fast, modern equipment. Better computers mean fewer barriers between what needs to be done and getting it done. I’m not so picky about PC vs. Mac. I chose a PC because it fits well with our current collection more than anything else. That and a similarly equipped Mac would have cost over $1,000 more.

Yeah. Over $1,000. And that just wouldn’t be responsible.
