All I can say is LOL ! I was actually thinking of getting myself a laptop and Toshiba almost convinced me to opt-in for a hybrid of theirs, but when I saw this beauty .. I just couldn't help myself and ordered it for me, unfortunately people at the museum told me that .. it's not for sale.. relics are for everyone to watch and not my personal use.
