While I am not a regular poster, it is not because I don't hang out here enough. I lurk, mostly to read everyone's insightful comments and entries. And I come for Rum and Coke Fridays (though I like mine with Jack Daniels)! But that doesn't mean I'm not a good progressive, listening to Air America, donating time and money to my local congressional campaign, and buying exclusively from companies that are apolitical or donate Democrat.
(Help me find a blue-friendly computer on the flip.)
Recently, I have run into a snafu. My university is allowing me to purchase a new computer, which I've been waiting for a chance to do for a couple of years now. Because it's against the computer purchasing policy, I can't use school allocated funds for an Apple computer, which is what I want. It's something to do with compatible browsers, which I know is crap, but I don't have the time right now to wait through the time it takes to fight of the rule for the new computer; mine is on its last leg. Angry as I am, I am going to have to purchase something Intel based.
I have looked for a couple of days and have yet to find something that fits my criteria - economically ethical company, high quality flat panel screen desktop. 512mb RAM. That's really it. Beyond that, I have all the programs I need (operating system, etc). I just can't find what I'm looking for. I was hoping that of all of you, one might know where I can get what I'm looking for. I don't mind shipping it to me.
Thank you for your help!
