Yehey! It’s another blessing as I finally got my new toy and partner – my new Acer Aspire 4730Z. I would treat this as a month early birthday gift. This Acer Aspire which is way faster than my old laptop Neo which though is still reliable and has been loyal to me for most of the time when I was blogging.
Acer Aspire 4730Z
My old Neo is almost two years old (two years this coming June 2009 as I bought it during the time that there was a Comdapp last 2007 but I bought it at Thinking Tools in SM City Davao. I am still having second thoughts of letting go of my old Neo since it was bought with part of my separation pay from the company I formerly worked for the longest time.
I am looking forward to a long time of blogging with the help of this new Acer Aspire. Thanks to Charles for the assistance and letting me take some from my “d-moolah”. Thanks to him too for installing the Windows XP OS and letting me have this upgrade!
