Okay, so because I'm an idiot and forgot about our appointment at the college, Persona 4 was not sent out today. It will be soon though.

At the moment, I'm trying to find a laptop for Mum. Toshiba's Satellite series with the Intel Core i3 are my favorites, but due to their lack of friendly payment plans, we can't get it. My anguish knows no bounds. I'm considering some of Dell's Inspiron 15s with the i5 processors, but... for one, it's Dell and I hate Dell, but they do have the nice payment system. It really fucking sucks that Mum and I can't touch our college money for another few months. So, for now, we're not getting anything. I'm gonna look into trading in my Inspiron 6000 for some credit towards another. Probably gonna come up dry, but eh.

Oh God, Luce, I'm kind of glad the payment plans for the Toshibas aren't good, because Toshiba are SO FUCKING SHIT. Their customer service is the worst I've ever encountered. They deliberately give you the run-around, and never get anything done unless you pester them. Also, their quality used to be top notch, so at least their actual machines were good, but it has been steadily declining in recent years.

My brother had fairly good luck with his Dell, but they're flimsy, too. They're a lot better with servicing their machines, though, and they provide actual SOFTWARE with their laptops. A Windows install DVD, for one thing.

AHEM. Sorry. I had a fucking TERRIBLE experience with Toshiba, and I don't want that to happen to anyone else.
