Semester Ending

Only a week left of college this semester. It has has just flown by.

I managed to apply for FA early enough so that this Fall I will be getting some aid. But I had still missed the deadline for the extra scholarships offered through the college. I had only missed the deadline by two weeks

I've been taking my younger brother to praise team practice at the church and have been thinking about getting a laptop so I could work while there. During the summer I could really use it, since right now I'm just using that 2-3 hours we stay there to study. But when college is over I'm not going have anything useful to do.

I looked at Walmart's $500 laptop, quite nice for the price. Though for me the cpu is too slow, not enough memory or hard drive space. I've read the 1Ghz VIA C3 is roughly equal to a Celeron 633Mhz which isn't too bad but it would be too much of a slow down from my current A64 1.8Ghz. I think 1Ghz should be useful. The 128MB of RAM is also much to small, 512MB would be the ideal amount as I multi-task like crazy. 20GB would barely hold all my mp3's much less my development tools and code. I think I could manage with a 40GB, of course my dream laptop would have a 120GB+. Hey I said dream laptop
