My boss just walked up to me and handed me a laptop! I'm setting it up now :D

P-4 2.66ghz, 512mb ram, dvd/cd burner, wireless card, 60gb hard drive!
HUGE improvement from what I had before: 600mhz p-3, 13gb hard drive, 256mb ram, broken cd drive, dual head (one fried head) matrox vid card

it's a good day :D

I've always wanted a laptop, but I know the day I get it, I won't know what to do with it.

Maybe surf while on the couch watching TV?

Looking up recipes from the kitchen?

Posting here while in the john?

Streaming movies to it while in bed?

Looking up yet another manual while downstairs working on my '71 VW bug?

Hmm, possibilites are opening up...

Oh, and congrats on the "upgrade".

I'm giddy too. My Athlon64 Newcastle 3200+ / ASUS mobo combo is coming today, I ordered it on the 5th and I never got a tracking #, even though it shipped. I finally figured out who was actually sending the Item, called them, and they gave me a UPS tracking #. I Checkd UPS' website.... 'On truck for delivery'
:D:D:D:D:D

I've already set it up to sit under my desk and crunch SETI ;)

There is no such thing as a 'P4 Centrino'

Either you Have a P4-m or you have a Centrino w/ a Pentium M (totally different CPU, not a P4)
