Wow. This is really nice

This computer! It has so much SCREEN OMG. And the keyboard! It lights up! But not too much, just enough to find the unusual keys in a dark room.

And it has a fingerprint reader, an add-on that I thought lame until [livejournal.com profile] serenity_valley demonstrated why I needed it--because instead of typing in a password you just rub your fingertip over the little indentation. Shut up. There's nothing untoward about it.

I still haven't figured out the problem with Vista, because so far it's just like XP only slightly flashier, and is giving me no grief at all.

So, in short, I am a very happy Dell customer, and you don't know how old and crappy your old and crappy computer was till someone steals it and forces you to get a new one.

I've been afraid to get Vista (although I might, when they bring in System 7 and dump the Vista computers at low!low! prices) so I'm glad it isn't causing you grief!

The, ahem, Form Factor that *I* find unduly suggestive is the index-finger-to-scroll-wheel procedure.

Hee! Oh yes. Scroll-wheel. I don't use a mouse at home, but I scroll-wheel professionally.
