Those home shopping channels are evil

Posted on Apr 19, 2009 | 0 comments

at least in my husband’s eyes. I used to be so bad when it came to watching those home shopping shows. By the end of the show I was usually convinced that we just had to have whatever they were selling. I know I am such a easy target. But for the last few years I have been really good and not ordered anything. No matter how good of a deal. So today I am flipping through the channels and QVC catches my attention. Guess what was on. An HP mini. They had me sold when they showed a regular laptop next to the mini. It is so tiny and it looks absolutely beautiful! The lady on tv actually put it into her purse. The hard drive is only 60 gb but that would not be a problem for me. I have at least 3 external hard drives. And Yes I have a lot of crap on them! The HP mini even has a camera built in. Now I am not sure about the price but QVC is offering it for $469. You can even do 5 easy pay payments of $93.80. You also get a lot of software too. Instead of putting it on a whole bunch of discs it is all on a 4 gb memory card. You get:
Acronis True Image Home 2009
AquaZone Open Water
Laplink Everywhere v. 5 (1-year)
McAfee Virus Scan Plus 2009
Open Office 3
World’s Best Board Games 2009
Sunbird Calendar
Stuffit Deluxe 2009
Thunderbird email
Adobe PhotoShop Elements v.7

My current laptop is a HP Pavilion. I love it but it gets really hot and sometimes can be a little bulky. I wonder could I convince my sweet husband that this would make the perfect Mother’s Day gift. Do you have the mini? If you do, what do you think of it? I would love to know
