What laptop should I purchase?
I?ve asked this question before but now I?m officially down to the wire. I?m getting a new laptop in the next week and I would like to get as much advice as I can before I hit the buy button. About me: ?Junior in Technical Communication ? Some of the things I will do with his computer: oWriting and Publishing print publications oCreating and maintaining small websites oDesigning graphics oWatching movies once in a while oCarrying it with me EVERYWHERE and connecting to multiple Wi-Fi networks oMultitasking: There are times when I?ll have 3 different adobe products, 3 instances of MS Word, 10 WebPages and iTunes up at the same time. ?Software I use a lot: oAdobe products for school and work including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Dreamweaver oMost MS Office 2007 products oITunes w/ my iPod touch oAudio book software ?Things I don?t do: oPlay games-I usually uninstall all preinstalled games ?My budget: $1800 after warranties, tax and shipping ?I won?t get a Mac Below is one laptop I configured and liked but I?ve read that it gets hot and the screen quality isn?t that great. I?m also concerned that I?ll end up breaking it. I?m having a hard time pressing the buy button which makes me think that it?s not the right laptop for me. Do you have any suggestions on this or another laptop I should get? I would love to hear from people who have tablet pcs. HP Pavilion tx2500z customizable Notebook PC EPP_00_KD480AV ??

What is an inexpensive and easy way to learn Spanish?
Does anyone know of any websites, pod-casts, or some kind of audio-book/software instruction that can help me learn the Spanish language? Please don't suggest Rosetta Stone. That costs hundred upon hundreds of dollars. I'm looking to not spend any money at all if possible. I am currently in a Spanish 101 class. I'm "somewhat" understanding it and I will pass the class, but I want an A and I'm not going to get an A if I don't get some help soon. I need to take three more Spanish classes after this one and at this point I'm stressing out about it because I'm going to be so far behind if I don't do something about my situation soon.
