It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.

My laptop is calling me

Dell finally dropped my laptop below $1000. I can't believe it.

I upgraded the RAM and display. I think everything else is stock. It came with a DVD burner stock. Nice.

To change the color would cost like $30. That would pit it over a grand. I do not want to change the color, it just strikes me as odd that they would charge that much for it. If I were Dell, I would throw in one color change for nothing and charge for more color changes. ... I think you can swap them out at will, like a phone case. Not sure.

I've been sitting here looking at the page for about fifteen minutes. I have to close the page. Need to move on.  Come on Kelly, you can do it. ... Did it. few!

Does it have a FireWire port? How many USB ports does it have? Are they powered? I can't find the simple information on that Dell laptop. Kind of annoying. ... OK, found some basic info. No real tech info though. I may call Dell and ask them where the technical info resides.
