Today I took the laptop in to a new store, Ultimate Electronics. They will do a review and optimize for $30 (everywhere else wanted $70 and up!)

Not a thing wrong with this laptop; just needs memory.

So I had them put in the max. WOO HOO this thing is humming!

AND, if I find the memory cards on line for less (which I am sure I can do), they will refund me the difference. If I had waited and bought it on line, I'd have had to put it in myself. Not difficult, just a nuisance to do, finding the right size screwdriver here at home, making sure I don't mess anything up inside. WIN WIN!!

I don't know WHY I wait so long to do stuff.
