The cost is no CD-ROM drive, right? Hmm, half the price in exchange for needing to borrow Mom’s desktop for Age of Empires and no DVDs without first ripping* and transferring the file. Too late for this time, but maybe when this laptop inevitably breaks down** I’ll consider it.

*Which would itself require figuring out how to rip DVDs; I’ve never actually done that.

**Not for a long time, right ‘puter? *pets laptop*

And yeah, duct tape is awesome. One of my winter boots has a tear patched up with duct tape. It’s shiny pretty grey, plus I can tell at a glance which boot is which. (I’d better like it: in Ontario, even towards the south I still need boots nearly half the year.)

[Edited because I’m so accustomed to HTML-ing my Internet stuff that I forgot I couldn’t use em tags here.]

Yeah, there’s no CD/DVD drive, but I know you can buy external ones. Idk if it could actually run AoE though; my boyfriend’s got a netbook and he can’t play many games on it. (He uses my laptop to play Civ sometimes, ‘cause his can’t handle it.)

I must admit, I’ve been using this computer for over three weeks and I don’t think I’ve used the CD-ROM drive once. I’ve been in a Runescape mood instead of AoE and all of my TV-on-laptop has been from the Internet (ILU Daily Planet).
