The kids, on the other hand, would probably be okay with that if it meant they could play at higher graphics settings.... ;-)Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-73484738171060683382012-08-08T10:28:48.322-04:002012-08-08T10:28:48.322-04:00I am a geek and spend money obviously fancy machin...I am a geek and spend money obviously fancy machines which are tax deductible so that's my justification.

Too many risks of being ganked, for certain.<br /><br />The highest priority right now --computer wise, anyway-- is to add a laptop. Our oldest will be doing a lot of homework on the computer this coming year, and our middle kid has reached middle school, where they're ramping up computer use for homework as well.
