Okay, so I got the laptop today. It arrived via Fedex this afternoon sometime. I was surprised when I got home from work.

It is a Sony VAIO laptop. I was surprised it was a sony. That means it’s a little less computer for the $1500 price tag, but I’m not complaining.

I was also surprised that it is not what was described. Kind of funny, actually. The only description I had of the laptop is that it is powered by centrino technology. And, this laptop is not powered by centrino technology. There is no wireless support included, which is pretty disappointing. Particularly because I already purchased some pieces of hardware in order to setup an wireless network in the home. I’m hopeful that there’s been some sort of mixup and the wrong computer was sent to me. Or something.

Other than that, here are the specs..

1.4GHz Intel Celeron M processor
512MB RAM
60GB hard drive
CD-RW/DVD
13.3″ widescreen
Radeon 9200 graphics chipset

it’s got two usb 2.0 ports and one 4pin firewire port, a modem and ethernet ports, and the sony memorystick drive thing.

The past two Sundays our church service has been cancelled. It feels really weird.

We’ve gotten together with families that live on our street both times, and yesterday we had an actual liturgy, but it just isn’t the same. Of course, I don’t want to make it sound like it isn’t an incredible blessing to live so close to families from church, and to be able to gather together and worship when church is cancelled. It is wonderful, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

But it isn’t the same as gathering together with all God’s people, and hearing His word authoritatively proclaimed, and partaking of the Supper.

I’ll be quite ready to be back in church next Sunday.
