New laptop for free

We have been contemplating about getting a new laptop for a while. But we have decided to get it later when I am physically in IL. Aren’t we glad we waited? My father in law has offered us a new laptop for free!

He got a part time job with the newspaper(writing a column), they have funds allocated to sponsor him a new laptop. Since he needs only the basic desktop publishing and word processor, he had suggested that he uses the old one that the big boy currently uses and we can have the new laptop!

So we are looking for deals online right now. The big boy and I are both excited about the newer and faster laptop. (Excitement, which by the way is an understatement!)
