What? You spend how much for your cell phone service?

Over time the price of technology seems to go down as features are added and improved. This past summer I needed a new laptop. I found what I needed with touch screen, the latest processor (Intel i5 4th gen), more memory and a bigger hard drive than I had before for just $450.00. That is 75% of the cost of the previous one. That doesn't seem to be the case with cell phones.

Quest for a Laptop

Obviously the most important tool for a web designer is a good computer. In fact more than one is a necessity. I primarily use a laptop (notebook) with a desktop as my alternative. Last week the worst possible thing happened. The notebook died. I overlooked signs that there was a problem. It was running hotter and hotter as time went on. Finally it overheated and POOF! it was gone. On the positive side it was 5 years old so time for a new one anyway.
