Working From Home Day After Day And Night After Night On A Borrowed Laptop Is No Fun. Especially When It Is Borrowed Back Off You. So, For That Reason, I Feel The Time Has Come For A Laptop Of My Own. Or Do I Want A Desktop? A PC Or Apple Mac? Or Maybe One Of Those Little Palm-held Jobs Would Look The Part; After All, It Would Fit Neatly In My Handbag.After Much Consideration And Deliberation, I Go Full Circle And End Up Back At The Laptop. But Where Do I Start? What Are My Requirements? Well, My Business Is A Small One, So I Don't Really Require Anything Top Of The Range. Yet! I'll Use It Mainly For Article Writing And Up-dating My Website. Oh! And Maybe A Spot Of Shopping! And I Will Be The Only One Using It. Probably!So I Have A Look On The Internet To Find Out What Other People Are Buying. And What Manufacturers Are Selling. Suddenly The English Language Becomes Muffled Jargon. Do I Really Know What I Want?What Memory Is Required? My Husband, A Programmer, Insists 2GB Is What Is Called For. Added To That Is The Essential 2.0TB Of Storage! Whatever All That Means! I'm Not So Sure! I Fear He May Have His Own Reasons For These Specifications...Dell Is Mentioned; So I Go Online For A Browse. Having Found One Within Budget That Appeals And Appears To Tick All The Boxes, I Am Suddenly Confronted With An Array Of Extras - All Of Which Serve To Push Up The Price.So I Pull The Reigns In. Perhaps I Don't Really Need A Lap-top Of My Own. Maybe My Husband's Will Suffice After All.Neither A Borrower Nor A Lender Be - Well So Much For Shakespeare - It Seems To Work For Us...
