I totally forgot to mention that we got a new computer…how could I forget THAT excitement. We got a DELL Dimension E510 at a great price($649). It came with 1Gig of RAM and a 19 inch flat panel monitor…those were FREE upgrades. I found this a Dell.com under the Dell specials or Dell savings or something like that. We upgraded to an all in one photo printer…it is a flat-bed copier, scanner, and printer(photo)…So now I can make copies from all of these resource books I have and NOT have to go to the library and do it!! Woooo Hoooo!!! Thank u Jesus!! And what convinced dh to go for it is that with Dell financing u have up until October 2007 to pay it off before they start charging interest….Yippee!!

So that was something else that has been taking my time. I’m still trying to figure out how to get some of my important documents over here on the new comp.

Our old computer we will use for the kiddos to play their educational CD-roms on…Dh even suggested hooking the old one up to the internet so they can play games like disneychannel.com and cartoonnetwork.com.. They get these as a treat from time to time. But I don’t think they need internet access right now. I”m doing all the research and reading for their lessons…maybe later when they are older and begin to research for themselves.

..besides…. I think no internet access is the best parental filter there is…..:-)

1. It’s so nice to get a new toy. Around Christmas I bought a new computer because I had been doing everything from my laptop. I think we have almost the same computer. I have the Dimension E310 with the same monitor. I had only wanted to spend about $300 but I let the salesperson talk me into getting something better because he said it would last longer (before becoming outdated). I think I spent about the same amount you did and we got a free printer (it’s not great but it works). You got a really good deal. I love Dell.

   I agree with you on the internet thing but if you do decide to allow it just be careful because the parental filters can’t guarantee safety.
