Connected to the world again...

In this day and age, how does anyone live without their own personal laptop? I know you've probably never thought about this, but some people don't have computers. Luckily, I no longer belong to that lower level of humanity. Of course since my laptop was stolen at the Olive Garden in Philadelphia (1346 Chestnut Street) and by one of their good-for-nothing employees, I've had to live without one.

Last week, I got a brand new Dell.
And with my purchase, or my mom's money, I was able to give a small percentage to help fight the AIDS epidemic in Africa. That's right. I'm here now, writing about luxuries such as a high-tech laptop, and someone in Africa is suffering from AIDS.

Dell and Windows will contribute $80 for every XPS ONE (PRODUCT) RED sold, which pays for over 6 months of life preserving anti-retroviral medication for a person living with AIDS in Africa. Dell and Windows will contribute $50 for every (PRODUCT) RED notebook sold, which pays for nearly 4 months of life preserving anti-retroviral medication for a person living with AIDS in Africa. Dell will also make a contribution of $5 for every 948 All-in-One (PRODUCT) RED printer sold, which is 11 days of life-preserving anti-retroviral medication for a person living with AIDS in Africa.

Basically if you don't get the XPS One (PRODUCT) RED, you're cheating someone out of $30 of life-saving medication and possibly 2 months of healthy living. Hmm. But, that's better than nothing, no?

Did I mention that I'm hella excited to play Assassin's Creed on my XPS starting April 8, 2008?

Price: Dell, $1,149 (starting price) including $50 of good will for helping an AIDS sufferer out; Assassin's Creed for PC, $49.99 on amazon.com.
