every time i walked by this church on the way to and from work in st louis, senegal, i was intrigued. i never made it inside, mainly because i spent my sundays with a wonderful couple and their kids. it was, however, a beautiful church. the biggest i had seen while in senegal. project revamp…
these kids are doing everything it takes to learn french, though most of the children who live on the streets are deprived of an education. they really inspired me. project revamp here.
coca cola was one of the simple pleasures that got me through the particularly rough days. nothing says refreshment like coca cola does. project revamp here. in other news, i think i am going to teach myself to sew. then i can make my own things for double the fun and half the cost. i’ve…
(at la patisserie medine in dakar) project revamp here. over a cup of café au lait in senegal, i had some of my deepest and most refreshing thoughts. it is no different here in the states. that was the case this morning with a mug of delicious texas pecan medium roast, cicadas humming their usual…
I upgraded my RAM and got an external hard drive for all my music and media. That $250 investment probably extended the useful life of my computer another 2 years. Otherwise, if you're going to get a new computer, I recommend getting the cheapest Dell with a full blown warranty with accident protection – it costs an extra $300 but it's worth the peace of mind and it's still less than a Mac.

If you end up deciding on a new computer, I would recommend the Toshiba. They have a model with 3GB of RAM and a 250GB HD for around $580 at Costco. It is the exact model I own and love and it includes Microsoft Office and a free upgrade to Windows 7 on October 22 (I paid $599 and did not get MS Office nor the free upgrade to Windows 7) And as Craig said, for about $300 you can get 4 years of full protection.
I can also direct you to a very low cost loan agent should you need financing :).
Love,
Dad
