Wooo Hoo! I got a new computer today. Its a Medion(never hear of the brand before today but the reviews were fine) 3.2 GH P4 with 512 megs ‘o’ ram, 17 inch monitor, nice speakers, a Nvidia vidoe card and a surround sound sound card(don’t remember the brand…too tired to look) And I got it for $650 after rebates. Man, I really like it. WOOO HOOO! Slee ---

I think you did well, my friend. I spent ~$990 last summer to get a 2.8 GHz machine w/a half Gig of RAM, an 80 Gb HD, CDRW, 17" Sony flat-screen and promises of a new life on the Internet. ---

Sensualips, I got it at Best Buy. Today. I assume that all Best Buys have them in stock. Its a Medion Composer 5200. Don’t know if the rebates will apply everywhere though. If you are looking for a new computer it is a great deal. Oh, and the monitor is flat screen. Slee ---

> [@skittles](#): > > Don’t look now - but I think they forgot the “w” key! You should complain! 😉 Nah, “ne” stands for new england style - there is no “r” key, but it does have two “h” keys. Just get in the cah and take that keyboahd back.
