So now you've been apprised and are "in the know". Welcome the the
lowest rung you can sink to as a PC hobbiest -- the "bottom surfer".



Ha! Funny thanks!

hey being a bottom surfer is an honorable thing I have
come to believe.

I have spent TONS of money on technology by being a
"pioneer".... only to see its value diminish to NOTHING
in a few short years!

Viva la CHEAP

Have you considered the option of a small(-ish) laptop, possibly with a big-
ish HD, the CD/DVD writer that you want, and then simply plugging into it a
larger display as and when you are at home? Wouldn't this solve all your
problems, and still ensure that you always had everything to hand?


Yes in some ways..... but believe it or not plugging
and UNplugging the laptop twice a day becomes a
hassle..... best to leave the Net book in your school
bag all the time so immediately ready to go!
