I am in love
I know I've been a little distracted lately, but now I want to introduce you to someone special. (In case that monster url stops working soon, it's supposed to be a link to the Sony VAIO PCG-V505AX.) I think this is how some people feel when they have a child. All of a sudden there's this amazing, tiny, fragile thing in my world and it's up to me to keep it safe. But why does love have to be so expensive?

Why MSN sucks
My laptop came with 6 free months of MSN Internet service, and since I only have access to a dial-up connection at the moment anyway, I figured I'd install it. I realized about a half an hour later that my new account prevented me from sending email from any of my websites (I have several POP accounts I access with Outlook Express). I searched around and did some reading and discovered that new MSN accounts are forbidden from sending anything but MSN email. Supposedly this restriction was added to help prevent spam, but if I use MSN I can't even send regular mail to my friends. How dumb is that? Why is MSN discriminating against people who have their own websites?
