here's the thing. my comp is old and therefore wonky. the fans are making this insufferable rattling noise. my monitor won't display anything but an error message saying something or other about input so i think my video card fried. gah. i need a comp for work and that would be nice if i could use a laptop to do all my paperwork and reports etc.

my dilemma is this. laptop V desktop. pc V mac. personally, i want a macbook or something like that. if i'm gonna invest in something i might as well go whole hog, ya know? however, practicality suggests i just get another reasonably priced desktop with which everyone in this house is familiar with or be totally selfish and just get a mac/airbook (photoshop!graphic!awesomeness!) for me seeing as how i'm the only one that actually uses this thing for work and other things. but then i think three five years down the road and i have to get another laptop cos they don't last that long so really my dilemma is want V need... except not really. bah.
