In Need/Want of Laptop

I’ve been saving money as I can so that I can buy our homeschool a laptop. I’ll have to be honest, it is taking more time than I thought it would. Between having to buy extra curriculum and supplies for projects, I’m not even close to what I need.

I think we’re going to use some of our income tax return to finally make the purchase, but I was wondering if maybe a computer rental would be something to look into until then. I really need to sit down and figure out the pros and cons of doing that. If I plan well, I would only have to rent it for a short amount of time…I would want it to be when we start back at co-op because that’s when I could really use a laptop!

Sigh….Dad, if you wanted to just gift me with a laptop that would ease a lot of my stress! Lol!

You are right. Northanger Abbey! Laura Thomas is taping them for me since I don't have very good reception. So you like the Persuasion version?

I rented a computer (years ago!) when they first started becoming a household fixture.. I did it because I figured I'd learn the ins and outs of everything and if I broke it.. I could give it back, lol. I did it for a few months..

As for dad buying a laptop.. my dear daddy bought me one a few summers ago.. and the dang thing wasn't work a .. well.. it was a defective model of Toshibas and they never did make good on it (I've whined and moaned about it on my own site).. I finally had to buy my own.

Good luck getting one! Hope you don't have to wait too long. :)
