I am holding...

agilebrit...in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers...
My new (old) Sony VAIO Picturebook.
And it's little. And cute. And light. OMG, y'all, this may be the perfect traveling laptop. Seriously, the keyboard is 9 1/4" long and 3 1/2" wide. And the whole thing is a little under ten inches long and six inches wide.
That is, if I don't have to wrestle with it for two hours (like I did this morning) in order to get its internet working. For some reason, it was not liking the PC card...and then it randomly decided that it was all right after all.
I don't get computers.
Now, the thing is old. It's running Win98, with a PII chip, and 64megs of RAM. I'm wondering if I can upgrade the RAM; I've seen some on eBay, but I wouldn't know how to install it.
Also, it doesn't like my (newer) Memorex thumb drives. I was wanting to use the machine to write with when I'm on the road, so that was a problem--until I realized that I can email the files to myself, DUH. Yay, technology.
Anyway, I think I'm going to like this machine. :)
