Al's Blog-o-Sphere

Just a quick post to say Al has been released from Pittsburgh and can go home!

We’ll be driving home this afternoon as soon as we can get checked out and packed up.

We’ll be home well in time for Thanksgiving!

Well, I’m sitting here using a new laptop – actually, not a laptop, it’s a netbook, smaller than a laptop.

Since my Toshiba died the other day and thinking I was going to be stranded here in Pittsburgh, I decided this was an economical replacement until it gets fixed. It’s small and not a replacement, as much as a compliment to the full-sized Toshiba.

There is no DVD or CD drive, because of size, but I have a USB CD-RW drive at home. It’s getting less and less necessary as almost everything is installed from the internet now anyway. The occasional program on a disk can wait for the external drive.
