    Got myself a new computer today. I got a Toshiba laptop with touch screen and windows 8.1 . It's on layaway until Thurs. My son works at Wal Mart and get's a 25% discount as a Christmas bonus. So he will pick it up and then I pay him. Saves me right at $100 on the puter. So I have been checking out Windows 8.1 online to see how it works!

    Now all the Stewbies will be just a touch away. You will enjoy your new touch-screen. Take a sniff, don't you love that 'new computer' smell? :) Congratulations Captain on your new computer.

    No one deserves it more--both the new computer and the savings. Enjoy your early gift!

    Now that sounds like the ideal gift and at an ideal price. :-D Do let us know how you get on with Windows 8.1.

    Sounds like lots of fun coming your way. Merry Christmas! You'll have to let us know how sensitive the touch screen is and how you like the Windows 8.1 laptop. I've been using an iPad for the last 2 1/2 years. It is great for sitting in my comfy chair and websurfing, but it doesn't have some of the versatility of our old laptop.

    Good for you and a discount even makes it better.

    Jewell, I do the same. My trusty iPad is by my chair in the den.....perfect for surfing, playing the couple of games that I enjoy, and even occasionally watching a TV show on it when there's nothing better on the big screen. :stew2:

    Oh wow! I got an early Christmas present to. A laptop. Hubby said it was to keep us from fighting over the computer after he retires.
