On the Purchase of new toys

Yay. Claire has a new toy. No its not a boy, its a shiny new blue computer, a wee toshiba laptop. Nice. Now all I need to do is figure out how to use the bloody thing. All this technology is a bit beyond me. I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that theres no floppy disk drive in it. I'm going to have to learn how to use the CD writer, aren't I?
Its all part of the plan though. If I keep this up, I can finish my thesis in the comfort of the Wanaka house, and never have to see anyone again. Choice.
