The (Other) End of the Internet

Welcome back!

This laptop I’m using may be used, but it’s still new to me and I still find myself wishing for one accessory or another. I recently spent $12 on eBay for a “new” cooling pad that was missing half it’s screws and bent when it arrived. I complained to the seller and he sent me an email promising to refund my money via paypal. (It’s been 48 hours, and there has been no refund yet, by the way.) When Daughter Number Two heard this, she said, “Oh, I have one I don’t use. I paid $20 for it. You can have it and pay me $20 whenever. She’s a gem.

This week I’ve decided I need a carrying bag for my laptop, the power cord, and a few CDs and DVDs I like to have on hand just in case. A quick search taught me that you can get a simple Samsonite case for around $40 or you can spend upwards of $500 for a high-end Zero Halliburton case.

Who’d have thought there was such a wide price range on such a simple-sounding product?
