jawjaw, what's another thousand, or so? Keep an eye out for the Fed Ex man. NOT! But good try.

I've been thinking that when I grow up I want to be one of my kids! HA!

Nancy, I can see you've been there, done that. My daughter and my stomping grounds are the local, Marshall's, TJ Maxx, Target, and Wal Mart...all in the same shopping center. Can't beat that!

Geez, computer wrapped right in with t he tuition? Makes you feel like you're getting it for free. Isn't that a joke?

One needs a Dell and the other a Mac. Just got our oldest a new lap top this spring. I think it's the last one we'll have to buy for him. He's a senior and it should last him a few years. Woohoo!

I have to say though, that lap tops are so much easier to set up in college dorms in comparison to desk tops. I remember my sister and husband taking hours to get their kid's computers up and running in their dorms. Lap tops are simple. There are some things to be thankful for!
