If you use the laptop in the same place on your desk (my work laptop never moves) you can use a wireless keyboard and mouse, and really never touch the laptop at all. Makes me wish I had an employee purchase program for my previous one - it was mint when returned.

Laptop skins that you can get for under $20 on eBay are good to protect the wrist area as well as the back of the LCD.

Songsterr app on iTunes for iPhone/iPad is pretty interesting to go threw as well.

I must get a Groupon weekly for 2 different online Guitar lesson places for $18-19 a year.

Disney can just pull an Apple and either buy the rights or the company if they complain.

I look at it this way - If someone broke in and stole all your equipment, could you recover? A external back-up drive is worthless if someone takes it along with the main computer/laptop.

So I can't buy direct from China, I have to shop at Wal-Mart?

I should of clarified it's more the home value/cost than the sf.

Here is a 6 speed gated key-chain so you can play at your desk or during meetings.

Sure it does, as someone who lives in a 60k 1400sf 3/2 is not going to have a '16k bathroom remodel' done.

These figures are useless without the average median home value attached as well.

S-Voice does not work as well as advertised, I have found out.

My local county offers the following for Down Payment Assistance programs for 1st time home buyers - Aka renters or have not have owned a home in 3 years or more.:
