There is an article in the NYT about Zombies. My day has come! It even has "ZOMBIES" in the URL. I win at life!

Also, just because I haven't commented on them doesn't mean I don't appreciate all the laptop suggestions and speculations people left on my journal last week. I am perusing them and keeping things in mind, so THANK YOU for whatever advice you had to offer. At this point, I'm still just working out what I need vs what I can afford.

The number one thing I need, I've decided, is a laptop that will last longer than 4 years. I'm thinking 5-6 year territory, and that would be worth paying extra for (I assume I'll be paying extra for warranties and the like, but as I've proven with my last two laptops, I can use a machine just fine for about a year after the warranty ends, so three-year warranties aren't very helpful if the machine only lasts as long).

Really, I hate having to move my shit to new computers. Hate it. New computer, ooooh shiny! But moving all my files? MURDERDEATHKILL. I've had to do it often enough when getting my HP notebook back from the nth fix it got. So, bearing that in mind, any other revelations about laptops for me?

I actually have an external hard drive, so the drive space on a laptop isn't one of my search criteria biggies. I've got a 160 GB hard drive that has some 80 GB still free, I think. The problem is I tried to let the thing backup using the program that will do period backups and compare/contrast what's been there before vs what's new so you don't have to etc etc, and then I just ended up dragging and dropping files to the thing because I didn't trust the program and didn't run it often enough. So now I've got to go back and figure out what's been duplicated and get rid of it.

The point is not that I can't do it pretty easily, I sure can, but that I don't want to have to do it. Even with USB 2.0 and firewire or any of those things, it'll still take hours to get all 20 GB of music to and fro and then figuring out what things to put on the...

I'll spare you. Rar rar rar rar rar, basically.
